Does the money deposited by the son into his father's account, which the father refused to use intending to save it for the son, and then the father passed away, fall under the inventory of the estate, or should it be returned to the son?

It is possible that the money was a trust (wadi'ah) with the father, in which case it should be returned to the son and not be included in the inheritance. If it was a gift (), it appears that the father rejected it. Therefore, the money is not included in the inheritance and remains the property of the son. If the donor or the donee dies before acceptance, the gift becomes void due to the contract not being finalized.
