A Muslim does not inherit from a disbeliever, and vice versa

Question:

A man married a woman from the people of the book and then his wife passed away.

Does he inherit from her or not?

Answer:

He does not inherit from her, due to the hadeeth of ‘Usamah bin Zaid, that the Prophet ﷺ said:

لَا يَرِثُ الْمُسْلِمُ الْكَافِرَ، وَلَا الْكَافِرُ الْمُسْلِمَ
“A Muslim does not inherit from disbeliever, and the disbeliever does not inherit from a Muslim.”
[Bukhari & Muslim]
