Summary
A child or heir who does not perform the five daily prayers still holds a right to the deceased's estate, provided they are not among those barred from inheriting. Eligibility depends on a cause of inheritance, namely lineage, marriage and al-wala. The estate must be distributed fairly according to the shares set out in the Quran and the Sunnah.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Kesimpulannya, walaupun waris si mati tidak menunaikan tanggungjawab kepada Allah SWT seperti tidak mendirikan solat lima (5) waktu, namun mereka masih mempunyai hak ke atas harta pewarisan tersebut
