Question

Assalam Aleikum Warahmatullah Wabarakatuh.

Answer

My late husband was paying a certain percentage on his Pension Fund and his Employer also for his retirement benefit. I am the beneficiary with accordance to the country laws plus the minors. My husband has other children from his ex-wife and since we are all Muslims, must know our Islamic shariahs of inheritance.
