Question:
I borrowed a sum of money from one of the brothers, and before repaying it, he passed away to the mercy of Allah. I ask for clarification on how to give this amount to those entitled to it, and the share of each of them, as he had one wife under his responsibility before his death, and he had three children from her, two sons and a daughter. May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
Yes, you must repay this amount. This amount has become the property of the deceased's heirs, because it became part of his estate. It is obligatory for you to pay it to his agent, if he has a legal agent. If you pay it to him, that is sufficient. If he does not have a legal agent, then you must go to the court, the court near you, and inform them of the situation. Then they will deliver this right to its rightful owners, if Allah wills.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good.
