Question
A deceased has no relatives who are heirs. He has only some very distant relatives. May his assets be distributed to other poor Muslims?
Answer
"Distant‟ relatives, if they are Zawil Arhaam, do have shares of inheritance. As long as there are such relatives, the Muslim man may not take any of the assets of the deceased.
