Question:
Your Eminence the Shaykh Salih, may Allah preserve you. The listener Saif ibn Sultan says: My brother died in an accident, and the Shaykh ruled that he is owed blood money (diyah). He has no heirs other than his father and mother, and he has brothers and sisters. The Shaykh ruled that the mother receives one-sixth of the blood money, and the remainder goes to the father. He also has salaries and gratuities from his place of work. The question is: Does the mother receive one-sixth of the salaries and gratuities, just as she does of the blood money? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
Whatever the deceased leaves behind in the form of salaries or anything else from his wealth, it is inherited from him according to the prescribed shares in the Book of Allah. Yes.
