2108. Jābir narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said: "The people of two religions do not inherit from each other." (Sahih) [Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Gharīb, we do not know it to be a Hadīth from Jābir, except through the narration of Ibn Abī Lailā.
٢١٠٨ - حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدُ بْنُ مَسْعَدَةَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا حُصَيْنُ بْنُ نُمَيْرٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «لَا يَتَوَارَثُ أَهْلُ مِلَّتَيْنِ». هَذَا حَدِيثٌ غَرِيبٌ لَا نَعْرِفُهُ مِنْ حَدِيثِ جَابِرٍ إِلَّا مِنْ حَدِيثِ ابْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى.

People of knowledge unanimously hold that disbelievers professing the same faith shall inherit from each other. However, views differ in cases where the disbelievers profess different faiths. But in view of the dictum that says that "All disbelief is one religion", disbelievers of all hues and denominations can inherit from each other.
