Question: A woman asks that her mother has passed away and she has two silver rings left by her mother. One of these rings has been requested by her aunt, but she does not want to give it away because she knows it belonged to her mother. She feels it is inappropriate to refuse her aunt because she has been very kind and financially supportive. What should be done according to Islamic law? Should she give the ring to her aunt as charity so that her mother receives the reward?
Answer: The belongings left by the deceased are part of the inheritance. Therefore, the rings and any other items left by the deceased woman are included in the inheritance, and all heirs have a right to the deceased’s inheritance.
With the consultation of all the heirs, the ring can be given to the questioner’s aunt as charity or a gift. It is essential to consult all the heirs and act according to the consensus reached.
