Summary
A stepchild is not entitled to inherit because there is no blood tie, marriage or wala with the deceased. If investigation confirms there are no ashab al-furud, al-asabah or dhawi al-arham heirs, the deceased may give to the stepchild during life through a gift (hibah) or through a bequest (wasiat). If neither was made, the estate is handed to the Baitul Mal as the last resort, following the Shafi'i school.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Melihat situasi di atas, anak tiri si mati tidak mendapat bahagian daripada harta pusaka.
