Asking a new Muslim to be his heir
Question
I am involved in making da'wah to non-Muslims to enter Islam. If somebody accepts Islam due to my da'wah and says the shahadah to me, may I ask him to make me his "mawlah" so that I can inherit from him? Or can this concept of "mawlah" not be used in our modern times?
Answer
You do not have the right to make this type of a demand.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
