Answer
Money received through bribery is Haraam.
The laws of inheritance do not apply to Haraam money. Such monies should be given away in charity to the poor and needy.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
