Question:
Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: I have some of my mother's gold, and she said, while she was in good health before she passed away, "The gold you have will be yours when I die." She said the same thing to my sister, and my sister has other gold belonging to our mother. Then she died. What is the ruling regarding this gold?
Answer:
The ruling is that the gold and anything else she left behind belongs to the heirs according to the Book of Allah (Mighty and Majestic), unless they permit you to take it, in which case there is no harm. However, if they do not permit it, the wealth belongs to the heirs, and you divide it according to the Book of Allah (Mighty and Majestic) in accordance with the laws of inheritance.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
