Jurisprudential-Legal Study of Deprivation of the Abettor of Murder from the Inheritance of the Victim and Pension

Islam and the law of many countries, including Iranian Civil Law, agree that the murderer is not entitled to the inheritance of the murdered heir. The scope of dispute is only about the limits of this deprivation and its extension or non-extension to the types of murder. But the issue of deprivation of the heir who was an accomplice in the murder, in the case of the silence of the law and many jurisprudential texts, is the place for stopping to give an opinion. In addition, it needs to be investigated whether the deputy in murder can receive a pension from the pension funds as the survivor of the victim or not. On the one hand, the exceptional character of the impediment to inheritance and the need not extend it to indefinite titles and on the other hand, the reasonableness of following the wisdom of the ruling on the deprivation of the killer and its extension has made it difficult to provide a conclusive opinion. However, there are reasons and documents in which we can state carefully that the issue of deprivation of inheritance and receiving a pension is also probable in this case, and the grounds for this conclusion are more solid. Thus, this paper aims to analyze the issue and provide a solution based on an analytical-critical approach.
