Suppose a person who has collected Zakaat funds for an operation passes away before his treatment starts. In this case, what happens to the collected Zakaat funds (in possession of the deceased family members)?
Are they entitled to use same for other purposes or can the heirs of the deceased even buy a brand new car with the unused Zakaat collected funds?
Because he was eligible for zakaat at first place does this become a part of his estate and will distribute between the heirs?
After collecting zakaat funds for the operation if he cancelled the operation or doctor 2nd opinion not to do it , in this case what he should do?
