Those who said: each is inherited by his heirs among the living, and they do not inherit from one another

Dawud bin Abi Hind says about Umar bin Abd al-Aziz that he used to make the living heirs of the dead, and he did not make those who drowned heirs of one another.

Qatadah said: It was in the letter of Umar bin Abd al-Aziz (may Allah have mercy on him) that every person is to be inherited from by whoever among the people is his heir.

Al-A'mash reports that a woman came to Ibrahim and said: My brother and my nephew were travelling in a boat and both of them drowned. He did not make the two of them heirs to anything.

Mughirah reports that Ibrahim said that neither of the two will inherit from the other the wealth that he inherited from him.

Ma'mar reports from al-Zuhri regarding people who die together in such a way that it is not known which of them died before the other. He said: They are not to be made heirs of one another.
