A person's property becoming an inheritance after their death

Q 2: When does a person inherit someone? Is it in their lifetime or after their death? Is it permissible for a person to give away all his property before his death? For instance, a father got angry at his children before his death, so he dismissed them from his house, gave some of his property as a Sadaqah (voluntary charity), sold the rest and went to perform Hajj. It seems that there is nothing left for his children after his death. What is the ruling on this? Is this permissible? (Part No. 16; Page No. 486)

A: First, a person only inherits when the owner dies and the inheritor lives after them. Second, a person can give away all his money or give it as Sadaqah during his lifetime seeking the Reward of Allah (Exalted be He) if there is public interest and they have great trust in Allah (Exalted be He), out of preferring the public interest to the private one. This was done by Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) in the Battle of Tabuk. May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
