Does the blood money of a child who died in a car accident become part of the inheritance, and how is it distributed among his parents and young brother?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The blood money (Diyah) of a person deceased in an accident is divided among their heirs, whether the deceased was an adult or a minor, and its value does not differ. If the deceased minor left only his father, mother, and brother, then the mother receives one-third of the blood money, and the father receives the remaining two-thirds. The brother receives nothing due to the presence of the father.
