Is the sister who took gold from her deceased father required to return the right to her brothers or to her father, and what should she do to clear herself of liability?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
It is not permissible to take from a father's wealth except with his permission. It is obligatory to repent and return the gold or its value to the heirs. You are entitled to your share. Giving charity or performing ' on behalf of the father does not substitute for returning the wealth to the heirs.
