Can a mother through breastfeeding inherit?
Question: 34661
Can a woman who is a mother through breastfeeding (radaa’ah) inherit from her son through breastfeeding if he dies and has a wife and children, and how much does she inherit?.
Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah and his family.
A mother through breastfeeding is not
entitled to inherit from the child whom she breastfed just because she breastfed him, whether he has heirs or not.
She may be entitled to inherit for some other reason (other than breastfeeding), such as if
she is the grandmother of the infant, or a sister through ties of blood. In that case she is entitled to inherit because of being closely
related.
And Allaah is the Source of strength.
