In a land of disbelief where the system allows for the distribution of inheritance prior to death, is it permissible or obligatory for a father to stipulate with a lawyer that if his son (who is considered an apostate for abandoning prayer, thus excluded from the Muslim community) does not pray, the inheritance should then be divided, with the son excluded, and the legal Islamic shares distributed among the remaining heirs?
It is permissible for a father to stipulate in his will that his son should not inherit from him if the son does not embrace Islam before the father's death, and the inheritance is then divided according to Islamic Sharia.
