What is the ruling on inheriting the money of a deceased person through false testimony?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The causes of inheritance are legally defined. Inheriting money through false witness is unlawful (), and the money acquired thereby must be returned to its rightful heirs, for a Muslim's wealth is inviolable. Bearing false witness is one of the gravest sins, and its perpetrator must repent to Allah.
