Can i use my fathers profits to pay off debts?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Askimam.org

I have no job till date and i have a little debt on me of almost 80000 PKR. my father had put some money in national savings. After his death when we withdraw the money they also give us some profit besides the original amount.

I want to ask can i utilize this profit money to pay my debt. As the money from my father’s account which was the share of us 3 brothers is under the ownership of my mother now. So i have no other way to pay off my debt besides this profit money Kindly guide me

Answer

Please clarify what is meant by, “the money from my father’s account which was the share of us 3 brothers is under the ownership of my mother now.”
