Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Shaykh, a man proposed to a woman for marriage? Yes. And acceptance was obtained from both parties, and after a few days the man passed away, and he had not concluded the marriage contract with her. And he left a bequest for her of a sum of money. Yes. So does she have the right to that? Okay, thank you.
The Shaykh:
You said acceptance was obtained from both parties; I am afraid that is a contract, so you must go to the court, my brother, you must go to the court.
The questioner:
They did not contract, they did not contract.
The Shaykh:
You say they did not contract, but perhaps your statement that acceptance was obtained from both sides is that it is a contract.
The questioner:
All right.
The Shaykh:
Go to the court, my brother.
The presenter:
Thank you,
