Fatwa #341815 July 2001United States of America
Please tell me in case I die how will my 401K fund be distributed to my family? My parents are alive Alhamdolillah and I have a wife and one son and one daughter.
Question
Besides I also have 5 brothers and 2 sisters. Thanking you in anticipation.
Answer
We cannot comment on the 401K fund as we have no knowledge of the fund.
However, upon your demise, if you do not have parents, your estate will be
distributed into 24 equal shares. The wife will inherit 3 shares, the son 14
shares and the daughter 7 shares.
and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
