Umar’s view about non-Arabs

 Malik – the leaders of the Malikis – has narrated from a trustworthy person that he heard from Saeed bin Musayyab that:

“Umar bin Khattab deprived the non-Arabs from inheritance, except that he or she should be born among the Arabs.”

Malik says: If a pregnant woman comes from enemy land to Arab lands and she delivers the child there, it would be regarded as her child and if she dies that child would inherit her, and if the child dies, the mother would inherit from it, and its inheritance is specified in the Book of Allah.


[Muwattah Malik, 2:12 [2/520, H. 14, Kitabul Faraid]
