If a child provided &#8211; or continues to provide &#8211; assistance to his\/her parents, the parents may have a moral and religious debt to compensate this child for his\/her efforts.<\/p>\n<p>This can be done in two ways: (1) Parents are free to gift their children money and\/or property during your lifetime. This is valid and sound under the Shar\u012b\u2018a; or (2) A moral\/religious debt can be paid to the child upon the parents&#8217; passing. This moral\/religious debt is paid from the gross estate as a debt before distribution of the net estate to the Islamic heirs.<\/p>\n<p>In other words, the child will receive the payment of the debt, plus his\/her Islamic fixed share. We do not believe this violates the Shar\u012b\u2018a.
