What happens to the woman’s property ....

What happens to the woman’s property [things that the wife and husband bought in order to get married such as furniture and appliance etc.] if my husband died? Am I entitled to inherit it or it’s already my own?

    It is the wife's right to obtain a woman’s property because it is a debt on the husband. The wife deserves it before dividing up the inheritance between the heirs.

Allah Almighty says: [after any bequest you [may have] made or debt] [An-Nisa: 11]
