Demanding that the heirs pay what the son paid on behalf of his father
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, I used to pay for my father's home phone, mobile phone, electricity, and water.
The Shaykh:
I was.
The questioner:
I paid for my father's home phone, mobile phone, electricity, and water for several years, and then my father passed away. Do I have the right to take what I paid from the estate and demand it from my brothers?
The Shaykh:
No, because when you paid it, you were doing so as a voluntary gift, so it is not permissible for you to take it back.
