The answer

If ill-gotten wealth is tied to the right of a person, it is obligatory to return it to him. However, if its prohibition is due to the method of its acquisition, such as usury or selling prohibited items, then some scholars permit the heir to take it. According to the majority opinion, which holds it impermissible for the heir, it is permissible for the poor heir to take what covers his needs.
