Question:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, a man passed away, and his colleagues at work donated some money to his family, which consists of a son, a daughter, and a wife. May Allah reward you. A man passed away, and his colleagues at work donated some money to his family, which consists of a son, a daughter, and a wife. How is this money to be divided among them?
Answer:
If the gift is for all of them, it is divided equally among them, because this is not an inheritance; it is a gift and a donation. If they give the money to all of them, and this is for the family of so-and-so or for the children of so-and-so, it is divided equally among them. If it is for their expenses, it is spent on them; it is kept and spent on them from it.
