The answer

If the illness during which the divorce occurred was a life-threatening one, and the husband did not fully recover from it, then the Malikis hold that the wife's right to inheritance is established, no matter how long a time passes.

As for the retirement grant, if it is among the entitlements of the deceased employee, then it is his right and is considered part of the estate to be distributed among the heirs. If it is a grant from the employer, it is disbursed according to what the granting entity has specified. If no specification has been made, it becomes part of the estate and is distributed among the heirs.
