Inheritance of an emancipated slave woman


A: First of all, the debt of this emancipated bondwoman, who died and left a furnished house, should be paid off and her legal will should be executed. Then, the remaining estate should be inherited by her nearest blood relatives. If she has none, her emancipator, whether male or female, should inherit from her. If the emancipator is not alive, then the emancipator's nearest male blood relatives inherit from her. May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
