Answer and explanation

Correct answer D

In Khursaidi Begum v. Secretary of State (Patna High Court, 1926), the court discusses the Imamia rule that an illegitimate child has "no nusub or parentage" for succession. Under the Shia rule there is no mutual inheritance with the parents or their blood relations, so none of the listed relatives inherits; the Hanafi maternal rule differs.
