Giving the entrusted money to the depositor's heirs
Q:
My maternal uncle died two weeks ago after entrusting me with the following belongings: Banknotes, silver, and his personal weapon. He left behind a son who is married to a sterile woman, an old blind wife, and a married daughter. My uncle entrusted his personal weapon to me and asked me not to give it to his son
for he does not trust him and thinks that he will sell it. Shall I give my other maternal uncle the property of his brother or shall I give all the property to his son? I am now confused. Please advise me for I want to get rid of them.
A:
You must give the property you have to the heirs through the legal court. May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
