Is it permissible to distribute an inheritance before the issuance of the certificate of inheritance and before the complete inventory of the endowment (waqf) funds, given that some heirs are in urgent need of money, and one of the supervisors has disposed of endowment funds without the knowledge and approval of the other supervisors?

It is permissible to divide the inheritance immediately upon the death of the inheritor, and this does not, in principle, require permission from the authorities. However, if the state prohibits division before a legal declaration of heirs is issued by the court, then this prohibition should be adhered to, especially if the deceased left a will or if there is a minor among the heirs. This is to safeguard the rights of the heirs from loss and manipulation. Any heir who is in need may bring the matter before the court to expedite the division of the inheritance.
