Muslim Inheritance Rights Explained

Islamic inheritance law in India dictates that sons receive twice the share of daughters. Conversion to another religion generally does not impact inheritance rights under Muslim law. If the deceased has a spouse, they receive one-eighth of the estate, with the remainder divided among the children. Specific shares are determined by the number of heirs and their relationship to the deceased. Understanding these laws can help in determining the distribution of an estate.Full Conversation
