Takhrij Hadith La Yarith al-Muslim al-Kafir (The Hadith Extraction of "A Muslim Does Not Inherit from a Disbeliever") is a specialized hadith treatise by Abd Allah ibn Yahya al-Awbal focusing on the sourcing, chains of transmission (takhrij), and evaluation of the prophetic tradition regarding interfaith inheritance.
Subject and Scope
The treatise centers on the prominent hadith transmitted on the authority of Usama ibn Zayd, in which the Prophet ﷺ stated: لَا يَرِثُ الْمُسْلِمُ الْكَافِرَ، وَلَا الْكَافِرُ الْمُسْلِمَ ("A Muslim does not inherit from a disbeliever, nor does a disbeliever inherit from a Muslim"), recorded in canonical compilations including Sahih al-Bukhari and Sahih Muslim . The work examines the transmission avenues of this ruling along with related narrations on the subject, such as the hadith of Abd Allah ibn Amr: لَا يَتَوَارَثُ أَهْلُ مِلَّتَيْنِ شَتَّى ("Adherents of two distinct religions do not inherit from one another") .
