Primary text

The wife who was divorced thrice and then denies the divorce does not inherit from her husband. This is the stated position of Ahmad, Qatada, Abu Hanifa, Abu Yusuf, Al-Shafi'i, and Ibn Al-Mundhir. The reasoning is that she knows she is a stranger (non-wife) to him, thus she does not inherit like other strangers.

Supporting text

Al-Hasan states that she does inherit because, on the surface, she is considered to be in the ruling of a wife.
