What is the share of the deceased's mother, father, and daughter from her continuous pension, and is it permissible for the deceased's mother—in her capacity as the guardian of the daughter—to take from this pension for household expenses and her medical treatment?

If the salary represents financial entitlements for the deceased sister, then it is to be divided among her legal heirs: the husband receives one-fourth, the daughter one-half, the mother one-sixth, and the father one-sixth. It is to be divided into thirteen shares. However, if the salary is a gift, then it is distributed according to what the granting entity specifies. The mother has no guardianship over the daughter's wealth as long as the daughter's father is alive.
