Are the funds that a widow receives as a grant for war victims or for retirement considered part of the inheritance?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The funds given to the family of the deceased fall into two categories: either they are an aid from the granting entity, to be distributed according to its decision, or they are a portion deducted from his salary during his lifetime, to be distributed among his heirs. One must refer to the regulations of the employer to determine the nature of the grant, knowing that it is common for retirement funds to be a deduction from the deceased's salary.
