The questioner : I have a sister who passed away, leaving behind a daughter. This daughter had a collection of gold worth a certain amount of money. What must she do with this gold? Should she sell it, or what should she do?
The Shaykh : This gold becomes an inheritance. If the daughter has heirs, it is divided among the heirs according to what is stated in the Book of Allah. If this daughter has a mother, a father, and two or more brothers, the mother receives one-sixth, the father receives the remainder, and the brothers receive nothing. If she has a father but no brothers, the mother receives one-third, and the father receives the remainder. The important point is that this gold left by the deceased daughter becomes an inheritance according to what is stated in the Qur'an and the Sunnah.
The questioner : May Allah reward you and bless you, O honorable Shaykh. This is a questioner for the program who sent a set of questions. The questioner is from Yemen and says: O honorable Shaykh.
