Ruling on the Inheritance of the Missing Person
A person went missing and then his father passed away. When distributing the inheritance, the mother of the missing person insisted on taking her missing son's share to give part of it to his children and keep the other part until her son returns. What is the ruling on her action?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: The missing person's share is preserved until he returns, and it should not be distributed to his children or others. If he does not return, it goes back to the heirs of the deceased. And God knows best.
