All praise be to Allah Alone, and peace and blessings be upon the Last of the Prophets. To proceed:The Permanent Committee for Scholarly Research and Ifta' reviewed the request received by His Eminence the Grand Mufty from an inquirer who works as a clerk at the Ministry of Justice at Al-Mujardah Province, Shaykh Shubayly ibn Jabir `Asiry. The request was sent to the Committee from the Secretariat General of the Council of Senior Scholars in letter no. 4188, dated 13/7/1421 A.H. The text of the question reads as follows:We present to Your Eminence the inquiry sent by citizen ... In which he mentions that his son passed away as a result of a vehicle accident, leaving behind his parents and pregnant wife. He was indebted with approximately 60. 000 Saudi riyals. The inquirer requests a Fatwa as follows:1- Is it possible to settle the debt of the deceased from the Diyah (blood money) while the wife is pregnant? (Part No. 11; Page No. 293) The rest of the heirs are poor and cannot pay off this debt, therefore we hope that Your Eminence could give us a Fatwa on this matter. May Allah safeguard and protect you, Amen!
