A hindu lady married a muslim and converted to Islam more than 30 years back. Her father left behind his self-acquired property on his wife's name 13 years back. Now the question is whether the converted-to-islam lady has any legal right on her Hindu father's property via the mother.

She have no legal right over the property left by the father of lady who converted to Islam. However, if terms are good between mother and daughter, it is the will of her mother to give or not to give her the property.

Neither she has any right in the property on today nor can be in future on demise of her mother, if her mother makes any arrangement of the mentioned property as this shall also be a self acquired for her.

if her mother dies without leaving any will,she is entitled to her share irrespective of the present religion of her.

Dear experts

I support mr Khaleel.

Section 26 of Hindu Succession Act says that the Convert,s descendants are disqualified to inherit a Hindu's property but it is silent about the Convert him/her self.

Section 2 of the Act says that the Act is not applicable to those who are not Hindu. As such the Convert is no longer Hindu so She has no right in her father or mother,s property under this Act nor she get any right under Indian Succession act or Mohemmaden Laws.

It makes no difference that Mother is alive or not. the Covert Muslim has no right what so ever.

It also does not make any difference that the Mother gets property by way of inheritance or by way of a will.

It makes no difference if her father would not make any will and had died intestate.

Heartfelt thanks to all experts. I now understand that the convert does not hold any right to inherit the property. Thanks again. Look forward to repay u all by answering some queries on DNA testing.
