Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
On this occasion, may Allah bless you. There is a delay in distributing the inheritance for many years after death, which causes a problem. What is your guidance on this?
Answer:
The guidance is to proceed with dividing the inheritance and giving every right-holder his right, after paying the rights of the estate from what is due from its owner in debts, whether they are debts to Allah or debts to people, and after extracting the lawful bequest from it. Then the inheritance is divided: the adult of sound mind is given his right, and the guardian preserves the right of the minor for him. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
