Nature of Islamic inheritance and its rationale : earning through lottery and earning through inheritance

Fatawa Question

Assalamu Alaykum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh, As lottery is Haram for one of the reason that people are required to work hard and employ their thoughts for something good to earn, than how good is it if someone is not making any effort and waiting for parents' inheritance to be granted to him / her ? Visitor notes : for the reason that inherited money is allowed in Islam, does not it make people lazy for making any effort on their own to earn money which is quite similar to the lottery. In lottery you put your money in and wait till you hit the jackpot which obviously doesn’t involve much of their efforts and time. Jazakum Allahu Khairan for your constant help
