Q: My father met my mother when she had two children from a previous marriage. My mother passed away 35 years ago. My father father bought a house 20 years after my mother passed away. Can his step children inherit?

A: Your mothers children from her previous marriage are not the heirs of your father. Hence they will not inherit from your father's estate.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
