Does a killer inherit, and is he inherited from?
Source: FtawySummarized from the full answer at Ftawy · imported Sep 2, 2026
The intentional killer does not inherit from the deceased's property nor from his blood money, by consensus of the scholars. As for the accidental killer, the jurists have differed regarding his inheritance, and the more preponderant view is that he does not inherit at all. If the killer himself dies, his heirs inherit from him, and the fact that he was a killer does not prevent his heirs from inheriting from him.
