Is it permissible for me to accept wealth that was set aside for me by my non-Muslim father as

Answered as per Shafi'i Fiqh by Qibla.com

Answered by Shaykh Amjad Rasheed

Is it permissible for me to accept wealth that was set aside for me by my non-Muslim father as a bequest?

Answer:
In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Yes, this is permissible for you, unless you know that the specific wealth that was set aside as a bequest for you came into your father’s possession through a means not sanctioned by Sacred Law, such as usurious gain (riba) or other unlawful [h: transactions]. If this were the case, it would be unlawful for you to accept it.

(Translated by Sidi Hamza Karamali)

السؤال  : هل يجوز لي أن أقبل مالا عينه لى والدي الكافر بطريق الوصية ؟ الجواب : نعم يجوز لك ذلك إلا إن علمتَ أن عين المال الموصى لك به دخل ملكَ والدك بغير طريق شرعي كعقد ربا ونحوه من المحرمات فيحرم عليك حينئذ قبوله .
