What they said on the apostate and reports on his inheritance

Abu Amr al-Shaybani (may Allah have mercy on him) says: Mustawrid al-Ijli, who had apostatized, was brought to Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him). He (may Allah be pleased with him) offered Islam to him, and he refused. So he (may Allah be pleased with him) killed him and divided his inheritance among his Muslim heirs.

Al-Hakam (may Allah have mercy on him) says that Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) divided the inheritance of the apostate among his Muslim heirs.

Abu al-Sabah (may Allah have mercy on him) says: I heard Sa'id bin al-Musayyib (may Allah have mercy on him) say: "We inherit from the apostates, and they do not inherit from us."

Musa bin Abi Kathir (may Allah have mercy on him) says: I asked Sa'id bin al-Musayyib (may Allah have mercy on him) about the inheritance of the apostate: "Is it to be passed on when he is killed?" He (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "What do you mean by 'passed on'?" The narrator says: I said: "Will his heirs inherit from him?" He (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "We Muslims inherit from them, and they cannot inherit from us Muslims."

Qatadah (may Allah have mercy on him) says that al-Hasan (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "The apostate is to be killed, and his inheritance will be divided among his Muslim heirs."

Ash'ath (may Allah have mercy on him) says that Imam al-Sha'bi (may Allah have mercy on him) and al-Hakam (may Allah have mercy on him), both of them, said: "The inheritance of the apostate will be divided between his wife and his Muslim heirs."
