Title: Inheritance

Question: Our father has left some property which will be sold and distributed by us as per Islamic Shariah, we 3 brothers and 5 sisters all are major and married, we will talk each other to sell the properties and share the amount as per Islamic Shariah. My question is whether my brother-in-laws have the right to speak about my father’s property when my sisters are alive and all are in good health and they can take their own decision?

Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

(Fatwa: 849/672/B=1434) If your father died leaving behind only you three brothers and five sisters and there is no other heir, then all the property left by your father shall be divided into 11 shares. Out of which 2-2 shares shall go to each brother and 1-1 share to each sister.

Q. ASA After my mothers expiry my father married again.After sometime he planned to build a house at Karachi,while he was posted at Lahore. To facilitate house building loan the plot was transferred to her name. Later my father built two more floors & directed me to come & live with him,declaring that the 1st floor was for me. Then I moved up-country as per job requirement & the 1st floor was rented out,while family of my foster mother's sister moved in & occupied the 2nd flooor. My father expired recently & it seems my foster mother intends to deprive me from my father's property & eventually hand over its custody to sons/daughters of her sister residing on the 2nd floor. This is so because my foster mother is issue-less. Nothing was contributed by my foster mother towards construction of the house,she was & is merely a custodian. Legally I cannot proceed against her as per the law of the land, or is there any access to justice through SHARIAT-E-Islami? Plz. intimate earliest as to what I should do? 1111 views
