@YusufAsunmogejo Your explanation is good but you forgot to mention that it's vice versa, as clearly stated in the Hadith you mentioned.

I think the Imam could have explained better assuming this was how he truly said it. Yes, a non-Muslim child cannot inherit from the standard Islamic estate distribution. However, saying they are not considered your family is a dangerous misrepresentation of Islam. The Imam used the wrong words. In our jurisprudence, difference in religion is a barrier to inheritance (Mawani' al-Irth), but it is never a barrier to blood ties (Silat al-Rahim). The Imam claiming a non-Muslim child is no longer your family contradicts the Quran and the Sunnah. In Surah Luqman, Allah commands a Muslim regarding their polytheist parents: وَصَاحِبْهُمَا فِي الدُّنْيَا مَعْرُوفًا "And accompany them in this world with appropriate kindness." Imam Al-Qurtubi explained that a difference in religion does not invalidate family obligations. In fact, when we look at the precise wording in Sahih Al-Bukhari, Asma bint Abi Bakr narrated: قَدِمَتْ عَلَيَّ أُمِّي وَهِيَ مُشْرِكَةٌ ... فَقُلْتُ: إِنَّ أُمِّي قَدِمَتْ وَهِيَ رَاغِبَةٌ، أَفَأَصِلُ أُمِّي؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ، صِلِي أُمَّكِ She asked the Prophet if she should keep ties with her pagan mother who came visiting. The Prophet (peace be upon him) replied: "Yes, keep ties with your mother." He deliberately used the word "Ummaki" confirming her permanent biological right and commanded her to maintain the bond. Imam An-Nawawi, in his Sharh of Sahih Muslim, stated that it is an Islamic obligation to maintain ties, show kindness, and even spend on non-Muslim relatives if they are in need. The biological rights of the womb remain intact in this world. Now, let’s address the elephant in the room. Can a non-Muslim child inherit a Muslim parent? The answer is NO. This is not even open to debate. The legal anchor is the universally accepted Hadith in Sahih Al-Bukhari and Muslim: لا يَرِثُ الْمُسْلِمُ الْكَافِرَ وَلا الْكَافِرُ الْمُسْلِمَ "A Muslim does not inherit from a disbeliever..." Imam Ibn Al-Mundhir in his book Al-Ijma documented the consensus here. The scholars of the Ummah agree that a non-Muslim does not inherit from the obligatory shares (Al-Fara'id). The financial succession of the Islamic estate is strictly for those who hold the faith. This is because inheritance is built on the concept of Muwalah (spiritual and legal alliance). The flow of obligatory wealth follows the flow of spiritual allegiance. However, Islam is a religion of profound mercy, and this is the major nuance the Imam failed to mention. While the non-Muslim child is blocked from the fixed obligatory shares (Al-Fara'id), the parent is fully permitted to leave them wealth through a Will (Al-Wasiyyah). A Muslim can will up to one-third of their total estate to anyone outside the legal heirs, including a non-Muslim child. Imam Ibn Qudamah in his book Al-Mughni confirmed there is scholarly consensus that a bequest to a non-Muslim relative is perfectly valid. If Islam did not consider them family, the Shariah would not provide a dedicated legal avenue to ensure they are financially cared for after your death. And if you want a historical precedent to bulletproof this, Imam Al-Bayhaqi recorded in Al-Sunan Al-Kubra that Safiyyah bint Huyayy, the Mother of the Believers, made a Wasiyyah giving one-third of her estate to her Jewish brother. If the wife of the Prophet considered her Jewish brother family enough to leave him a third of her wealth through a valid Islamic legal channel, then it shows that while the non-Muslim child cannot inherit, she can still benefit through a Will. Allah knows best.

Nestle just lost 413,793 KitKat bars. Someone stole them off a truck heading from their factory in central Italy to Poland, about 1,300 km away. Roughly $1 million in chocolate. The truck, the bars, all of it, just gone. A European Parliament study puts cargo theft costs across Europe at €8.2 billion a year. That works out to about €2.5 million worth of goods disappearing from trucks and warehouses every 24 hours. The industry group TAPA tracked 157,421 cargo thefts across 129 countries between 2022 and 2024. Only 6% of those included how much was actually taken, and that 6% alone added up to €2.7 billion. The real number is way bigger. Germany gets hit the hardest. DHL's own data shows that a truckload is stolen every 20 minutes there, costing roughly €2.2 billion a year. The fastest-growing method is "phantom carriers," where criminal groups register fake trucking companies with forged documents, show up at warehouses with legit-looking paperwork, load the cargo, and drive off. No weapons, no break-ins. Just forged IDs and a clipboard. The German Insurance Association logged 88 phantom carrier cases in the first seven months of 2025, matching the total for the previous year. Food is the most-stolen category in Europe, accounting for 10-20% of all cargo thefts. Chocolate is a top target because it doesn't spoil, everyone wants it, and it sells fast on unofficial markets. 20 tonnes of Nutella and Kinder Eggs were stolen in Germany in 2017. A crime ring that moved 287 tonnes of Swiss chocolate worth $8 million over the course of 2014. 20 tonnes of Milka were taken from an Austrian factory in 2019 using forged pickup papers. Timing makes this one sting. Cocoa went from about $2,400 per ton three years ago to over $12,600 in late 2024. Prices have dropped to around $5,000-$6,000 in early 2026, but that's still double the historical average. In Poland, where these bars were headed, chocolate retail prices jumped 32.6% last year according to EU data. The product is worth stealing right now more than at almost any point in the past decade. Nestlé says each bar has a scannable code that routes back to the company. Decent tracking. But when €2.5 million in cargo disappears from European supply chains every single day, 413,793 KitKat bars are a rounding error.

Nigerian military, backed by coordinated airstrikes, detected and repelled the advance, then struck retreat routes, forcing a disorganised withdrawal and inflicting further damage.

Update: Family of Auchi survivor, Dr. Abu is accusing the police of conspiring to free the arrested kidnappers, after some lawyers applied for their bail. While they cannot afford the ₦3 million legal fees, the bandits are allegedly receiving full legal representation, family sources told Sahara Reporters.

My Cartoon Today

Stop thinking your 10,000mAh power bank is 10,000mAh. The first time I got a power bank, I was constantly complaining that my brand new 10,000mAh power bank could only charge my 3,000mAh phone twice. I thought I got scammed with a fake product until a few years later after I got others and it was thesame and decided to research. There is a secret math around this. Your power bank battery lives at 3.7V, but your phone needs 5V to charge. To bridge that gap, the power bank has to boost the voltage. This conversion isn't free. In the process of pushing that power through the cable, about 30% of the energy is lost as heat. You can actually feel it. That’s why your phone and the power bank get warm. So, if you buy a 10,000mAh power bank, you really only have about 6,500mAh to 7,000mAh of actual rated capacity to give. You didn't get cheated. You just paid a tax to the laws of physics. Lol. Next time you’re buying one, always do the 70% rule so you don't get stranded. Do your own research. INALEGWU.
