Determining religious status when the deceased leaves two Muslim sons and two Muslim parents, and their religions are disputed.

Primary text

If the parents claim to be Muslim, their statement prevails over the claim that they were non-Muslim. This is because the claim of disbelief (kufr) necessitates either that the deceased was Muslim and then apostatized, or that the parents were non-Muslim and converted after the deceased reached puberty. The fundamental presumption contradicts these claims.
