Inheritance and wills: Does a sinful or disobedient child inherit? Can they be barred?

Question:
What is the ruling on inheritance rights of a son from his father, if
the son has been disobedient, not looking after him, and even acted
violently towards his father? Is he entitled to the same share of a
son who is obedient?
Answer:
Walaikum assalam wa rahmatullah,
The inheritance portions have been allotted by Allah Most High, and
are due to any child, even if deviant, disobedient, and sinful, except
in veryrare circumstances such as apostasy or if they kill the parent.
It is obligatory for every Muslim to take the meansto ensure that
their wealth will be distributed in accordance with the command of
Allah. The importance of this is made clear when we realize that the
laws of inheritance were explained by Allah Most High himself in the
Qur�an in detail.
In non-Muslim countries this cannot normally be ensured without having
a proper will specifying that one�s wealth be distributed according to
Islamic law. It is thus religiously obligatory and binding upon every
Muslim in a non-Muslim country to have such a will, and to keep it up
to date.
