Question:
If a man dies and leaves behind a pregnant wife, is the inheritance distributed, or do they wait until the child is born?
Answer:
If they wait until the child is born, that is better. If they do not wait, they divide the estate and set aside for the unborn child the most favorable option between the inheritance of two males or two females, whichever is greater. They set aside the greater amount and treat the heirs with the lesser amount until the pregnancy is confirmed and the child is born. Yes.
