Q: Our sister (N. M. M. M. N.) passed away in a plane crash, and her inheritance was restricted to her husband, her mother, and two full sisters. She received compensation as blood money. Is this compensation for the husband, or is it for all the heirs?
A: Any financial right that the deceased has is distributed among his heirs according to their prescribed shares.
