Earning interest on money deposited by one's late husband
Q: If a women whose husband is dead, has no son and nobody who can finance her needs, use the interest earned on the large sum of money deposited by her husband in a savings account during his lifetime? She has one daughter (separated from her husband) with her who also has nobody to earn for her. Can she also use the same interest money?
A: If their shares of the deposit are not sufficient for their needs then they may use this money as well.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Q: If both my mother and sister use the deposited money before any interest, the money will wipe out and no source of further finance will be available. Both my mother and sister have gold.
A: If the husband had savings in the bank then use the savings and avoid the interest.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
