Inheritance from to non-Muslims : inheritance of a non-Muslim child

Fatawa Question

AssalamoAlaikum. I have 2 questions [Question One] : I have a sister who has children from Christian men she does not pray salaat, fast nor wear Islamic clothing and eats Haraam meat also. She does not do anything to indicate she is a Muslim. She was born a Muslim our father was a Hafiz of the Holy Qur'an. Question: Our father's inheritance in terms of money has to be done. Is she entitled to any of her father's inheritance ? Please inform me. Next query. My grandfather of India left a plot of land in India for his 3 sons. Two sons died after their father as Muslims, the last son is alive at the moment his father predeceased him. This last son who is alive goes to church and has said he is not a Muslim. At the time when my grandfather wrote the land in the 3 sons names my grandfather knew the son now alive was not a Muslim. [Question Tow] : How this plot of land in India which has the non-Muslim son's name has to be done. Does the non Muslim child inherit? Please inform me.
