I am a convert: can I inherit from my non-Muslim parents?

According to the majority of scholars, including the Shafi'i school, a convert does not inherit under faraid from non-Muslim parents, nor do they inherit from him or her. Yet the bond of love and kindness towards parents remains obligatory. Property from non-Muslim parents may be received through a gift (hibah) during their lifetime or a will under civil law. In Malaysia, the property of non-Muslims is administered under civil law, and a convert child may receive it if named in the will. Converts are also encouraged to make a will and hibah so that beloved non-Muslim family members can be helped. Consult the religious affairs office or a lawyer.
