A.Dear Client,

A person is not prohibited from owning a certain property merely because of his or her religious beliefs. There is no legal stumbling block that makes a Hindu barred from buying property from a Muslim. The question of inheritance of property in Muslim law comes only after the death of a person. Any child born into a Muslim family does not get his right to property on his birth. Under the Indian legislative scheme, the rules that govern inheritance under Muslim law depend on the kind of property involved. In cases of Non-testamentary succession, the Muslim Personal Law (Shariat) Application Act, 1937 gets applied. You just satisfy yourself with the status of legal encumbrances of the property before buying the property belonging to a Muslim. Reach out an Advocate with all the property papers for guidance and steps.
