The Ruling on Money Deposited with a Deceased Person Whose Heirs Are Unknown

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A listener on the program says: A friend of mine passed away, and I have some money belonging to him. I do not know anyone among his children or relatives. What should I do after I have searched for them?

Answer:
You must make an announcement. Go to the court and announce through them that so-and-so has died, so that anyone who has rights against him or who has rights with him may come forward. Yes.
