Does the husband’s son inherit from the wife of his father?
Question: 204646
A woman died and left behind some wealth from a pension that was originally for her husband, and passed to her after he died. Does the son of her husband have any right to this wealth?
Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah and his family.
If the wife was entitled to the pension, then whatever she
took possession of from it became her property alone, and it is not
permissible for anyone to dispose of it or any part of it except with her
permission.
See the answer to question no.
147802
If she has died and she had saved up some of this pension,
then this money and whatever else she left behind becomes the right of her
heirs who survived her, and the heirs of her husband have no right to any of
it.
The husband’s son does not inherit anything from the wife of
his father, so he has no right to this money unless his father’s wife
bequeathed something to him.
And Allah knows best.
