The answer

This gold must be divided among the woman's heirs according to Islamic law. Her parents receive one-sixth if they are alive, and the remainder goes to her young child. The child's guardian should manage his share as he deems best for the child's interest. It is not necessary to keep the gold as a memento. We emphasize the seriousness of inheritance matters and the necessity of referring them to courts for investigation before division.
