Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. The questioner says: One of them passed away, and his estate consisted of a farm with a group of livestock and sums of money. He says: One of them passed away. And was it one of…? I mean, a person. Or one of his children? Is that the first question, or something else? This is a second question, Shaykh. The second? Here. He says: One of them passed away, and his estate consisted of a farm with a group of livestock, and sums of money. So, does the agent have the right to spend on the farm and the money of the deceased that it contains until the estate is distributed?
Answer:
If spending on it preserves it from spoilage, and if spending on it preserves it and its assets, then he spends on it. But if there is no preservation of it in that, then no, he does not spend on it. Yes.
