Question 2420) - You had mentioned that if there are no 'Asabat then the remainder of the inheritance after the Ashabul Faraid get their shares the remainder gets shared amongst the Ashabul Faraid. Is this when both categories of 'Asabat are not to be found i.e. ?Asabat by lineage and 'Asabat by cause or only if the ?Asabat by lineage are not found.

A: It applies to both. Thus if the deceased has a Mawlal 'Itaq the remainder goes to him, not the Ashabul Faraid.
