15. The ruling on one who is in the right inheriting from one who is

in the wrong, and vice versa. A transgressor who killed a person who was with the group that is in the right cannot inherit from him and vice versa, because the Prophet 1%) said: "The killer does not inherit."lZ1 Abu Haneefah's opinion was that: "One who is in the right may inherit from a transgressor, but not the other way round." Ahu Yoosuf said: "Each of them may inherit from the other, because each is fighting for what he thinks is the right cause."'22 This was also the view of an-~awawi."~
