Fatwa number ( 19554 )
Q: My maternal uncle passed away two weeks ago, and he left with me a sum of money: paper currency, silver, and some personal weapons. He has a son who is married to a barren woman, a blind elderly woman, and a married daughter. He placed the personal weapons in my trust, instructing me not to give them to his son, as my uncle did not trust him and said that he would sell them. I am confused and hope for an answer. My uncle has a brother, so should I give my uncle's brother his brother's estate, or should I give it to the son? I wish to be rid of it.
A: You must deliver the money in your possession to the heirs of the deceased through the Sharia court.
