Ayatollah Safi’s answer to a question about the rejection of the request of inheritance from the Baha’i heirs by the courts of justice

…

According to Shafaqna, the text of the question raised and the answer of this Shiite emulation authority is as follows:

Question: Is the rejection of the request for inheritance from the Baha’i heirs by the courts of justice religiously valid?

Answer: There is no problem if the request for inheritance is to determine his Muslim heirs, but if it is to determine [the inheritance] for the Baha’i survivors, this is not legitimate and is not permissible to accept. God is the knower.
