Calculating the estates of people who passed away and the order in which they passed away cannot be determined
Question
If a family passes away in a car accident and the order in which they passed away cannot be determined, then how will their estates be worked out?
Will مناسخة be followed?
Answer
If the sequence of their deaths is unknown then each deceased's estate will be calculated separately. It will not be a situation of munaasakhah.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
