Question

An only daughter is ill, and her father has passed away, with no brothers. Is it permissible to conceal the death from her, or is it preferable to inform her so she can hire someone to recite Kaddish for her father's soul?

Answer

There is no need to inform her of the death, even though she is an only daughter. It is possible to transfer money through another person and hire someone to recite Kaddish.
