The Deferred Dowry of the Deceased Woman
A woman has passed away and has no children, but she has a husband, a father, and a mother. Do her relatives take the deferred dowry mentioned in the marriage contract and her clothes?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: The deferred dowry is considered her inheritance, and it is divided according to the rules of inheritance. The husband is entitled to half of it due to the absence of children, and the remaining portion is divided equally between the mother and father. And God knows best.
