The question

What should a woman do who received a trust (the absent young man's share of the inheritance) if his brothers demand the money from her? Should she deny the existence of the money with her and swear on the Qur'an, knowing that her family and the owner of the money are severely ill?

The answer

It is not permissible for a woman to inform her friend's son's brothers about his wealth if they will take it unlawfully. She must safeguard the trust. In this situation, she is permitted to lie to save a Muslim's money from ruin and loss.
