اُردوEn
سَعِيدٌ قَالَ: نا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ، عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ «فِي الْقَوْمِ يَمُوتُونَ جَمِيعًا، غَرِقُوا فِي سَفِينَةٍ، أَوْ وَقَعَ عَلَيْهِمْ بَيْتٌ، أَوْ قُتِلُوا لَا يُدْرَى أَيُّهُمْ مَاتَ قَبْلَ الْآخَرِ وَلَا يُوَرَّثُ بَعْضُهُمْ مِنْ بَعْضٍ إِلَّا أَنْ يُعْلَمَ أَنَّهُ مَاتَ قَبْلَ صَاحِبِهِ فَيَرِثُ الْآخَرُ الْأَوَّلَ، وَيَرِثُ الْآخَرَ عَصَبَتُهُ، فَإِنْ لَمْ يَعْلَمُوا أَيُّهُمْ مَاتَ قَبْلَ صَاحِبِهِ فَلَا يُوَرَّثُ بَعْضُهُمْ مِنْ بَعْضٍ، وَلَكِنْ يَرِثُهُمْ عَصَبَتُهُمُ الْأَحْيَاءُ»
Saiduna Umar bin Abdul Aziz (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "If a group of people die together, for example, if they drown in a boat or a building collapses on them or they are killed, and it is not known who died first, then none of them will be made the heir of the other. Except if it becomes known that so-and-so died first, then the other will be his heir, and the heirs of the second will be his living agnates. If it is not known who died first, then the living agnates will be the heirs."
