1. How is the inheritance of an aunt who died without children distributed, given that she has a living husband, mother, and siblings (brothers and sisters)? 2. Will a deceased child, seven months old, intercede for his mother or for his parents on the Day of Judgment? 3. Is it permissible to perform a complete recitation of the Qur’an for the deceased, or is it considered an innovation (bid‘ah)? 4. Is it permissible to seek refuge for a deceased woman from the trial of the Antichrist (Al-Masih Ad-Dajjal), and will it be accepted from us?

The deceased woman's estate is to be distributed as follows: The husband receives one-half, and the mother receives one-sixth due to the presence of siblings.

The remainder is distributed among the brothers and sisters. If they are maternal siblings, males and females are equal. If they are full siblings or paternal siblings, the male receives the share of two females.

Regarding the intercession of a miscarried fetus, there is a hadith indicating that it will pull its mother into Paradise if she sought reward from Allah for its loss.

Donating the reward of reciting the Qur'an to the deceased is permissible. However, seeking refuge from the Dajjal for the deceased has no evidence of its legitimacy, nor is there any indication that the dead fear his temptation.
