2109. Abū Hurairah narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said: "The murderer will not inherit." (Hasan)
[Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is not correct. This is not known except through this route. Ishāq bin 'Abdullāh bin Abī Farwah was abandoned by some of the people of knowledge, among them Aḥmad bin Ḥanbal.
This is acted upon according to the people of knowledge, the murderer will not inherit whether the murder was a mistake or on purpose. Some of them said that if the murder was a mistake, then he inherits, and this is the view of Mālik.
