Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. If the wife has a deferred mahr of ten thousand, and then the husband dies, is the deferred portion taken from the estate in addition to her inheritance?
Answer:
This is her right; it is a debt in his liability, so it is taken before the inheritance.
