The ruling on taking the cooperative fund amount after the beneficiary's death
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Shaykh, I have a question, if you please. Regarding my late mother (may Allah have mercy on her), she was registered in the charitable cooperative. An amount was allocated to her after Ramadan. Naturally, I informed the cooperative. After Ramadan, perhaps in the tenth month, I went to inquire, and my brother said, "It is the tenth month, or one thousand riyals in her balance." Naturally, I withdrew the amount, and there is nothing left in it. The second question, wait, wait, wait, my brother, let the Shaykh answer.
The Shaykh:
It is not permissible for you to take the amount. The mother for whom it was allocated is deceased. Rather, you must inform the authority that disburses it that the beneficiary for whom it was allocated is deceased before its disbursement. So inform them of this, because she has no right to it after her death. Yes.
The questioner:
The second question. I have an amount, and I repeat, it is correct.
The Shaykh:
Yes.
The questioner:
Yes, Shaykh, the amount is with me now. I will return it to them.
The Shaykh:
Yes, why did you take it when the mother is deceased? Return it to them and inform them.
The questioner:
The second question. I did not take it thinking I would take the days. I asked the disbursement officer about it, is his statement correct?
The Shaykh:
My brother, they do not know. Inform them that she is deceased before its disbursement.
The questioner:
I inform them about what I inform them about the amount. I say this amount. The second question. The second question.
The Shaykh:
I say, return the amount to them.
