Inheritance from to non-Muslims : inheritance from a Christian father

Fatawa Question

AsSalaam Alaikum from Wyoming. About 25 years ago I had the pleasure of meeting you at the Quincy, mass Masjid. Jazakallah for your continued service to Islam. I have a question for which I need guidance. We have a sister in the community who had become Muslim about 20 years ago. MashaAllah she is a devout Muslim even though her husband divorced her a few years back. She also has three sons with that marriage. She is of meager financial means. She has written to me a letter asking if she as a Muslim can inherit money from her Christian father. Also if she can receive any money from him while he is still alive. I would appreciate it very much if you can respond to these questions as soon as possible. Jazakallah
