Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
It is for the family of the deceased, both men and women.
Answer:
And that they are entitled to it, men and women alike. This is the correct view, the stronger position. Some say it is for the residuary male heirs ('asabah) only, but the correct view is that it includes all of them, because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "So his family has a choice between two things." He did not say "the residuary male heirs," nor did he say "the men." He said, "His family has a choice between two things": from whom they take the blood money, or from whom they take his life. Ahmad, on one occasion, mentioned this. Yes, his mother, his daughter, his sisters, all of them, yes.
