Question
My wife passed away and did not receive her deferred and immediate dowry from me. Does it fall from my responsibility or does it remain a debt in my name, or is it considered an inheritance for her children and family?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: Her dowry shall be fully deferred and immediate, a debt upon you to be fulfilled; to be divided among her heirs, and you have from it the share of the husband, which is one-fourth, and God knows best.
