The finger of the mayyit on which there is a gold ring is so much swollen that the ring cannot be removed.

Question

The finger of the mayyit on which there is a gold ring is so much swollen that the ring cannot be removed. What should be done?

Answer

If the heirs want the gold ring, they should arrange for cutting the finger surgically to remove the ring. The finger should be buried with the mayyit. If the heirs do not want the ring, then it should be left. But the heirs must be informed. If among the heirs there are naabaaligh (minors), then their shares should be calculated and that amount be held in trust for them. The adult heirs should pay the shares of the minors.
