The mother's share of blood money if she dies before it is spent on a charitable project
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, this questioner says: I gave my mother her share of the blood money for my murdered brother,
The Shaykh:
Hmm?
The questioner:
I gave my mother her share of the blood money for my murdered brother, and she told me to put it in any charitable work, such as a mosque or something else, as charity for your brother, and I do not want to eat the blood money of my son. His question is: His mother died before he spent this money on a charitable work. Do the heirs have a right to this money, or does he have to spend it as charity?
The Shaykh:
If he had spent it before she passed away, that would have been correct, but after she passed away and he had not spent it, it became the property of the heirs. Yes.
