The ruling on one who has a trust in his possession, then the owner dies and leaves behind minor children

Question:
My father had a trust of sheep belonging to one of our relatives, but my father passed away before he could deliver the sheep to their owner. The owner of the sheep also passed away around the time of my father’s death, as he says. The owner of the trust was in another country. This man has children from two wives, the oldest of whom is twelve years old. We ask your Eminence how we should handle this trust? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
This trust is to be delivered to the heirs, the heirs of its owner, through the responsible authority: the judge, if there is a judge, or the ruler of the town, or the head of the community, if they have a head to whom they refer. These sheep are to be delivered to the heirs and divided among them according to the legal division of inheritance.
Through the scholars you have who know the division of inheritance. Yes.

The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
