Is it required to distribute the death compensation, pension, and deducted amount received for the deceased according to Sharia, and what if one of the heirs dies before receiving them?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

End-of-service benefits and death compensation are to be divided among all heirs according to their prescribed Sharia shares. If an heir dies before the distribution, their share is then distributed among their own heirs. As for the retirement pension, it is a grant from the government and is given to those designated by the regulations, and its distribution among all heirs is not obligatory. What was deducted from the deceased's money in the association is subject to the legal Sharia inheritance division.
