Summary
The takaful contribution money is treated as savings forming part of the deceased's estate, so it must be divided according to the faraid system. If all heirs entitled to the inheritance agree to divide it differently, the distribution may follow their agreement. That agreement must be based on the consent of all eligible heirs.
