Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, a man passed away, and his colleagues at work donated some money to his family, which consists of a son, a daughter, and a wife. How should this money be divided among them?
Answer:
If the gift is for all of them, it is divided equally among them, because this is not an inheritance; it is a gift and a donation. If they gave the money to the entire family, or to so-and-so’s family, or to so-and-so’s children, it is divided equally among them. If it is for their expenses, it is spent on them from it; he keeps it and spends on them from it. Yes.
