🚨 CRITICAL: No Purchases Until Debt is Cleared

The estate funds in Pakistan (₨7.1M) are NOT available for personal use. Under Islamic law, these funds belong to the mortgage creditor until the debt is fully settled. Any spending delays the transfer and prolongs the soul's suspension.

📜 These Funds Are NOT Inheritance — Sharī'ah Reminder

Until the debt ($31,567) is fully paid, the estate funds do not belong to the heirs. They are held in trust for the creditor. Spending these funds on personal expenses before the debt is settled is impermissible.

"The inheritance cannot be divided until the debt they owe is settled... the inheritance is not divided until the debt owed by them is paid." — Fatwa OF-000596, Dubai Islamic Affairs, Council of Senior Scholars
Allah says: "...after any bequest he may have made or debt..." — The debt is mentioned alongside the bequest, and both must be fulfilled before inheritance is distributed. — Qur'ān 4:11-12, repeated four times in the inheritance verses

⚠️ Fixed Deposit Interest — Ribā Ruling

The Allied Bank "Special Savings Plan" is a conventional fixed deposit that pays interest (ribā). According to Salafi scholars, this interest is ḥarām and cannot be used for personal benefit or to pay the deceased's debt.

Any interest earned will be disposed of by giving it to the poor — not as ṣadaqah seeking reward, but to rid oneself of the ḥarām. Only the principal (₨5,000,000) will be used for debt payment.

"With regard to the interest that the bank gives to you, do not give it back to the bank and do not keep it, rather spend it on charitable causes such as giving it to the poor..." — Shaykh 'Abd al-'Azīz ibn Bāz (رحمه الله), Fatāwā Islāmiyyah 2/407
