Disinheriting A Child
Mutual agreement and residence of a child are not the bases according to which a father can disown a child from his inheritance. A person is free to give anything that they desire to someone else during their lifetime, but one should not commit any injustice in such distribution. Inheritance, however, must be distributed according to God’s law which is subject to the person’s will which will be acted upon first; however, no will can be made in favor of heirs in their capapcity as heirs but can be made in other capacities e.g. where some additional benefit was entailed from a specific heir or to satisfy genuine need or needs of a specific heir or heirs etc. Please see for further details : Discussion 70522 The only condition under which a father can disown his child is when such a relationship is causing harm to the father instead of the benefit in accordance with Quran 4:11 . For example, when a child murders his father. Please see for details : Discussion 64548 A court can review both the will and decision to banish a child from inheritance to see whether any injustice was committed or not.
