Question:
We move on to another questioner. This is Umm al-Jawari asking, may Allah bless you. She says: What is the ruling on delaying the distribution of the estate?
Answer:
It is not permissible to delay it except by the agreement of the heirs. If the heirs agree to delay it, or if there is an apparent reason for the delay, then there is no harm in delaying it. However, if there is no apparent reason for the delay, one should hasten to give people their rights and their inheritances. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
