Impact of Inherited, Newly-acquired Money in Inheritance: A Comparative Jurisprudential Study

Abstract

This study aims to clarify the rights of an heir in inheriting wealth from their relative in the event of an incident that may affect the legal ruling on the entitlement and validity of inheritance, either by absolute prohibition or by inheriting only a portion of the estate. The study is divided into an introduction and three sections. The three sections focus on newly-acquired money impact on inheritance of an apostate, newly-acquired money impact on murderer inheritance from their heir, and the impact of inherited, newly-acquired money on relatives inheritance in the event of mass death, such as drowning, demolition, public accidents, diseases, etc. The study main findings showed that the right of an heir from their deceased relative has been well established in Holy Quran, and cannot be waived or denied unless otherwise there is an explicit evident textual or consensus. It was also revealed that there is no inheritance in case of mass death unknown circumstances and doubt. The claim of inheriting from those who drowned, were demolished, and the like, of newly-acquired money, constituted a contradiction because both parties would become heirs and deceased at the same time.
