Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner asks: Which takes precedence in inheritance, the Muslim public treasury or the maternal uncle?
Answer:
Or is it for the kin? The kin take precedence. As long as he has heirs from the side of the residuary heirs, or from the side of the kin, or from the side of those with fixed shares, his wealth is distributed according to inheritance, and the public treasury has no share in it. Yes.
