س: لو أدخل الشخص نقوده في البنك التقليدي، و زاد البنك النقود الربوية على نقوده الشخصية، و بعد زمان مات هذا الشخص. هل لأقرباءه حق الميراث في تلك النقود الربوية؟ و هذا هو الحال في كثير من الأسر الإسلامية حتى في الدول الإسلامية.

س: لو وقع من الشخص اشتراء شيء (مثلا السيارة، كومبيوتر و إلخ) باستعمال التمويل الربوي من البنك التقليدي - هل الإنتفاع بهذه الأشياء جائزة لأهله و أقربائه؟ هل هذه الأشياء تعتبر جزءا مباحا من الميراث لورثاء هذا الشخص، والتي يجب قسمها بين الورثاء؟ و هذا هو الحال في كثير من الأسر الإسلامية حتى في الدول الإسلامية.

Q: We have only one daughter. According to the Shariah the distribution of property in inheritance after one passes away says she receives half of her father's wealth. However we want to bequeath the other half of the wealth to her as a gift after our demise. Is it permissible?

Q: I need your shariah ruling on the following matter. A property was sold in 2003 for an agreed sum. The seller, represented by executors and heirs duly signed the purchase and sale agreement. The purchaser paid the transfer duty to SARS via the conveyancer. To date, transfer of the property has not taken place. Some executors and heirs who signed the agreement are now deceased, thus estates upon estates had to be finalised causing indefinite delay in transfer. 

The new heirs are not willing to honour their parents signatures on the agreement, reason being:

1. Price of property - not market related - as at today
2. Arrear rental - some of the buyers are tenants on this property and have refused to pay the increase in rental due to the delay.

At present, papers are ready for transfer, pending the signature of a few heirs. If the seller does not honour the agreement, the purchaser is now seeking High Court ruling for finalisation.

Does the seller have any reason to dishonour this agreement? 

I seek the shariah ruling, hoping to resolve this matter.

Q: I have been appointed a trustee of a wealthy man. He has asked me to be responsible for his company and make sure that his inheritors (wives and children) receive their portions and give one third in charity. Please advise me. If you can recommend any reading material in english this would also be helpful.
