The Ruling on Returning to the Heirs of Fixed Shares

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Yes, His Highness the Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, asks: What is the ruling on returning to the heirs of fixed shares, and does the remaining money go back to the treasury of the Muslims?

Answer:
If something remains after the fixed shares and there is no residuary heir, it is returned to the heirs of fixed shares in proportion to their shares. Allah the Exalted said:
relationship are more entitled [to inheritance] in the decree of Allahالْأَرْحَامِ بَعْضُهُمْ أَوْلَىٰ بِبَعْضٍ فِي كِتَابِ اللَّهِ
[Al-Anfal 8:75]
So if she died and left no children, and they took the money as fixed shares and as return, half of it is a fixed share and half is a return to her, and also a return to him.

The presenter:
May Allah grant you success
