Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, does the retirement salary belong to all the heirs, or is it for the minors and the women among the heirs? And is there evidence for this issue, or is it a matter of independent legal reasoning by the judge?
Answer:
This is a system established by the one in authority, so it reverts to the system; it is not inheritance. Retirement is not inheritance, but rather the one in authority has established it for the minors after the death of their deceased relative. So the system of the one in authority is applied to it, and it does not fall under inheritance.
