Convert - who inherits what? I am a new convert. I am single and don't have any muslim family. My family consist of my parents and a brother. What portion should each of them receive on my death?

Answer

From your question, we understand that your parents and brother are not Muslims. In principle, there is no inheritance between Muslims and non-Muslims. However, there may be Wasiyyat (bequeath) between Muslims and non-Muslims.

We suggest you draw up an Islamic Will stipulating who you wish to bequeath your estate to. If at the time of death, there are no Muslim relatives, the persons (parents, brothers, etc.) / organizations whm you have stipulated will receive the entire estate in the proportion you have stipulated.
