Is the house that the mother bought with the compensation money for a traffic accident her daughter was in considered an inheritance after her death?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If the sister has passed away, the amount given as compensation (ta'widh) or blood money (diyah) for her is treated as part of the estate (遗产) and divided among her heirs. The mother takes her share from it, and then the mother's share is divided among her (the mother's) heirs. However, if the sister is still alive, the amount is her property and does not become part of the mother's estate. It is recommended to consult a judge to look into the details of the matter.
