The Ruling on the Trust of Abandoned Sheep
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner, Abdullah, may Allah preserve you, says: My father had a trust of sheep belonging to one of his relatives, but my father passed away before delivering the sheep. A year later, the owner of the trust passed away, and he has children from two women. What should we do?
Answer:
It is obligatory for you to take care of the deceased man's sheep until they are delivered to his heirs. If they are minors, the sheep are to be delivered to their legal guardian, who will either keep them safe for them or sell them and preserve their value. Yes.
