Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: The estate of the deceased was distributed among the heirs, including two sons who had not reached puberty. Is it permissible to provide for them from the estate, given that their father’s salary has stopped?

Answer:
They have nothing but their inheritance; they are to be provided for from their inheritance. It is not permissible to provide for them from the estate, because the estate has become the property of the heirs, and their maintenance is not the responsibility of the heirs. As long as they have an inheritance, they are to be provided for from their inheritance, from their share.
