Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: I took my brother's money after his death, and he was not married, so I traded with this money. Is it permissible for me to take the profits?
Answer:
This belongs to the heirs. If the heirs have contracted with you and given it to you to trade in, there is nothing wrong with it, because it has become the property of the heirs; it is not for the deceased. The deceased is finished.
