Question
Is the gold of the mother after her death considered part of the estate, and if it is not part of the estate, is it permissible for those who were taking care of her to take her gold? We want to know what is lawful and what is unlawful in this matter.
Answer
I say, and with God's help: The mother's gold enters the inheritance just like the other assets that she left after her death, and it is distributed according to the legal division, and those who served her do not have a distinction in the division compared to others; however, they will receive more reward and merit for their kindness to their mother. And God knows best.
