Summary
The Sarawak State Fatwa Council ruled that derived gratuity and derived pension are not part of the deceased's inheritance estate. Their distribution is therefore not subject to the methods used to divide inherited property. The ruling was made at the council's 18th meeting on 22 December 2010.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Ganjaran terbitan dan pencen terbitan tidak termasuk sebagai harta pusaka, maka kaedah pembahagiannya tidak tertakluk kepada kaedah pembahagian harta pusaka.
