What is the husband's share of his deceased wife's deferred dower, and how much must he pay to the heirs, given that her parents have waived their right to the inheritance?

The deferred dowry (mu'akhar al-sadaq) is a debt owed by the husband and is included in the wife's estate. The estate is distributed among her heirs after her debts are paid and her bequests are executed.

If the wife has no heirs other than the husband and two sons, and the parents have relinquished their right: - The husband receives one-fourth (500 dinars). - The remainder goes to the two sons by way of 'asaba (agnatic succession), with each son receiving three shares (750 dinars).

Inheritance matters are complex and delicate. A mere fatwa (religious edict) is not sufficient; rather, such cases must be brought before the Sharia courts for investigation, to ascertain the heirs, debts, and bequests.
