Eid Abbasi: From her husband's wealth, from her husband's blood money.

Another questioner: From her husband's blood money, anything, this is what 'Umar used to issue a ruling on, then when he learned that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) inherited for the woman of Ashim al-Dabbabi from her husband's blood money, he returned and retracted that, and issued a ruling that the blood money is for the heirs, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) inherited for the woman of Ashim al-Dabbabi from her blood money.

The questioner: The blood money is for the heirs.

Another questioner: It is settled for the heirs, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) inherited for the woman of Ashim the blood money.

The Shaykh: The blood money is for the heirs, and it has no relation to whoever demanded the blood money and obtained it, whether it was the brother or someone else.

Another questioner: The 'Aqilah has to pay.

The Shaykh: Yes.
