Does the debt, which was ruled by the court against the deceased before the issuance of the verdict, and which includes the right to divorce and the daughter's alimony, remain standing or does it fall?
It is not known what property the judge ruled upon. It might be her right to mut'ah (a compensatory gift), which is an established right that does not lapse with the husband's death. The wife is entitled to it from the principal of the estate before division. The judge's ruling resolves disputes. If the Sharia judge ruled for mut'ah, it is as if it is agreed upon. It is advised to refer to the court again to waive the maintenance.
