What are the Sharia rulings concerning the division of the deceased husband's estate, specifically regarding the gas station? Is it permissible for the wife to retain her status as a widow? Is the husband's death in a car accident considered martyrdom? How can children be raised in a righteous Islamic manner? Can the wife perform the Hajj pilgrimage using social security funds? Is it permissible for the wife and her children to visit the deceased's grave?
The inheritance of the deceased husband belongs to his heirs (wife, children, father, mother) according to their prescribed shares. The money of the orphans must be preserved, invested, and disbursed to them when they reach maturity. The wife's kindness to her in-laws should be from her own private wealth, not from the money of her orphaned children. The wife should remarry and ask Allah for a righteous husband, due to the great benefits of marriage. Sponsoring an orphan is a means to accompany the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, in Paradise. It is permissible to use social security funds for Hajj if the conditions are met. One who dies in a car accident is hoped to be a martyr. It is preferable for women to refrain from visiting graves due to the potential renewal of grief and possible contraventions of Islamic law, while it is permissible for children to visit their father's grave. Emphasis must be placed on raising children with good morals and values, encouraging them to memorize the Quran, and instilling in them a love for good deeds and prayer, and on connecting with Islamic centers and righteous sisters.
