The Ruling on a Trust When Its Owner Dies

Question:
Please, Ibrahim, from Haffar. Welcome, Shaykh, may Allah keep you safe. Please. I have two questions. My first question, O long-lived one, is that a man passed away, may Allah have mercy on him, and he gave me a trust. Yes, may Allah reward you. Did you give it to his children, or did you distribute it as charity? Good. And the second question? The second question, O long-lived one, is that my father, may Allah have mercy on him, who is the one who called, performed Hajj last year. I took a Hajj for myself, in my opinion, of course, since we have not performed Hajj until today? Did you perform Hajj for yourself? Yes. Good. And fifteen days ago, I performed 'Umrah and shaved my head for my father. Good. Yes. A friend of his, a Shaykh, passed away, and this person had a trust with him. He says: Should I give it to his children, or should I pay it as charity?

Answer:
No, no, he should hand it over to his agent, to the agent of the deceased, and the agent will distribute it among his heirs. Yes.
