Q: My spouse died last year, should the previous fatwa or the new fatwa apply?

A:
The 2019 Fatwa only applies if the property has not been sold and distributed.

This fatwa does not apply retrospectively to properties which have been sold for the proceeds to be distributed to beneficiaries (in accordance with the 2008 Fatwa).
