Is a woman whose husband died, then she married and died while married to her second husband, entitled to inherit from the estate of her first husband?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
A wife whose husband has passed away inherits her share of his estate whether she remarries after him or not. Her share does not lapse with her remarriage. As for the woman whose share of inheritance is forfeited by marriage, according to some jurists, this applies to a woman divorced during a life-threatening illness with the intention of depriving her; she inherits as long as she does not remarry.
