Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. This questioner says: My brother gave me a sum of money or a trust, and Allah the Exalted took him away. He has a wife and young children. The question is: to whom should the trust be delivered?

Answer:
If he left heirs, then upon his death this money belongs to his heirs: his wife and his children. The wife is entitled to one-eighth, and for the children, the male receives the share of two females. If he has two parents, if he has two parents, then each of them is entitled to one-sixth, and the wife is entitled to one-eighth, and the remainder goes to the children, with the male receiving the share of two females. If he does not have two parents, then the money goes to the wife as one-eighth, and the remainder goes to the children, with the male receiving the share of two females. If his mother is alive, she is entitled to one-sixth. If his father is alive, he is entitled to one-sixth, and the remainder goes to the children, with the male receiving the share of two females. The wife’s obligatory share is one-eighth. Yes.
