Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A woman says: My husband died, and he owed me my deferred mahr. But after his death, people came forward demanding their debts. The question is: how is the money divided, knowing that it is little? And which is given priority: my deferred mahr or the debts? Please advise us; may Allah reward you.
Answer:
Your mahr is part of the debts; it is part of the debts. The estate is distributed among the debts, including the mahr. One takes his share and portion from it by pro-rata distribution, as the scholars have mentioned. Yes.
