Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: A woman died, and she was known for being poor. After her death, they found that she had a great deal of property. The question is: Are the heirs required to investigate the source of this wealth, or are they permitted to divide it directly without asking?
Answer:
They do not investigate it; rather, they inherit it and do not investigate it. Yes.
