Mother giving the son money in her life time
Question
My mother before she passed away did not clarify the money she gave to save my brother's house from being repossed as a gift or a loan, what happens? Does the money go into the estate because there was no confirmation what ther intention was when she gave him the money?
Answer
If she had given it to him he does not have to repay the estate.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
