Question

Is it permissible to pay the creditors of the deceased in instalments to enable one to invest the money inherited from the estate?

Answer

You may do so only with the consent of the creditors. If they demand immediate payment, then you will have no option but to comply. The creditors have a prior claim over the heirs.
