Does a Muslim inherit property containing forbidden things, such as alcohol, and what should he do with it?

If a father dies and leaves behind a guesthouse or other property, it is considered an inheritance. The presence of forbidden items like alcohol within it does not affect this; such forbidden items are not inherited and must be destroyed and poured out. It is not permissible to own them lawfully. As for the guesthouse and any permissible items within it, they are to be divided among the heirs. Similarly, forbidden money, such as usurious interest, is not inherited.
