Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A person was afflicted with cancer, may Allah protect us and you from it, and the Royal Court allocated one hundred thousand riyals for him to be treated abroad. He says that this amount was not deposited into his account until after his death. The question is: What should the heirs do with this money? Is it considered part of the inheritance, or are they required to return it?
Answer:
They should contact the authority that ordered the payment and inform them that the person died before the amount was deposited. If they approve it for them, they divide it according to the rules of inheritance. However, if they do not approve it for them, they have no right to it. Yes.
