If the conditions and pillars of a Misyar marriage are met and there are no impediments, then it is a valid marriage that entails the effects of marriage, including inheritance. The condition of waiving inheritance before the death of the inheritee is not valid because it is a waiver of something not yet owned. However, if the waiver occurs after the inheritance is due and the renunciant is willing, then it is permissible.
