The question

How are the shares of the deceased that include prohibited, mixed, and permissible companies liquidated, and what is done with the value of the prohibited and mixed shares? And what if one of the heirs refuses and demands his share without regard to its source? Is he given it with a reminder of the obligation to pay out a certain amount without compelling him, to avoid problems, especially given the disagreement on the issue of the permissibility of inheriting ill-gotten wealth?

The answer

The deceased's capital in shares is permissible, but the profits from impermissible shares, and the portion of profit from mixed shares, are ill-gotten wealth (mal khabith) that is not lawful for the heirs. Explain its ruling to them and encourage them to dispose of it. If they permit you, do so; otherwise, give each heir their share so they can dispose of it themselves.

It is not permissible for a guardian to give in charity the haram wealth of a minor. A poor and needy heir may take from the ill-gotten wealth for their livelihood, but one who is not poor may not take from it, and must dispose of it by giving it to the poor and needy.

Whoever is genuinely convinced by a permitting the heir to benefit from haram wealth absolutely, without personal inclination, we hope that the sin will be lifted from them, as a follower (muqallid) is not obliged to follow a specific mujtahid. However, following aberrant opinions that are slips of scholars is not permissible. A layperson may seek a fatwa from whomever they wish, without picking and choosing concessions.
