STINGY RIDDLE!

THERE WAS A VERY RICH BUT MISERLY AND MISERABLE OLD LADY. SHE HATED EVERYONE ESPECIALLY HER RELATIVES. SHE HATED THEM SO MUCH THAT SHE DEVISED A WILL; THAT IN THE EVENT OF HER DEATH ALL HER ASSETS SHOULD BE LIQUIDATED AND THE MONEY TO BE DROPPED IN THE DEEPEST OF WATERS IN THE SEA.

EVENTUALLY THE OLD LADY DIED AND THE EXECUTOR PROCEEDED TO FOLLOW HER INSTRUCTIONS. THE FAMILY WHO RIGHTLY BELIEVED THEY WERE TO INHERIT THE WEALTH CONTESTED THE WILL ON THE BASIS OF HER INSANITY.

THE MATTER WAS REFERED TO THE COURTS, ALL THE EVIDENCE PROVED THE OLD LADY TO BE OF SOUND MIND. THE JUDGE RULED THAT THE LAST WISHES OF THE DECEASED MUST BE PARAMOUNT, HOWEVER HE WAS ALSO SYPATHETIC TOWARDS THE HEIRS.

THE JUDGE PASSED A FINAL RULING, THAT OBLIGED THE WILL OF THE DECEASED AND FULFILLED THE RIGHTS OF THE HEIRS.


WHAT DID THE JUDGE ORDER TO BE DONE?

All the money thrown in and then tell the heirs where it was thrown?

Distribute it among the heirs, and now that it belongs to them, have them dropped in the sea?

Firstly, after death the money is not hers anymore so the heirs dont have a thing to worry about!
secondly if they were'nt muslim then drop a cheque with the balance of her account written on, to the bottom of the sea and the heirs can have the money.
Thirdly it is the sea after all, not as deep as the ocean so tell the heirs to have some fun and go scuba diving.

interesting solution, and very imaginative, however a slight sense of correctness amongst the above INCORRECT answer!

Hmm, throw the heirs in with the money?


I thought the distributing one of muslimah_91 was going to be right.

The Judge ordered the assets to be liquidated and thrown into the sea, which is obliged to her will, and fullils the right of the heirs as well. By obeying the deceased he is fulfilling the rights of the heirs, whther they like it or not.
Hmmmm.... just a guess?

If I was the judge (ahem) I'd distribute 2 3rds to the heirs - Don't know which law he followed.


Then obliging to her will, 1 3rd will be boxed in wood... taken ashore with the heirs... to the deepest sea... BISMILLAHI MAJREHA... drop the box into the sea, & leave the rest to the heirs...


Because I'm judge!

however, out of all the above guesses i would have to say;
HAYAWAAN-E-NAATIQ, has to be the closest with;
