Who has rights of inheritance over parents money?
Salaams,
Just wanted to know who has rights of inheritance over parents money. Is it son or daughters or both? Plus what right do daughter in law have when it comes to father in laws money and property?
Thank you
Junaki

Junaki, wa alaykum as-salam,
The Islamic inheritance laws are derived from the Quran. Here is an article that breaks down the basic system:

The daughter-in-law is not one of the heirs in Islam. She would inherit from her own parents. Only blood relatives are heirs.
