Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

(Fatwa: 894/837=D/1429)

When the daughter died when her father was alive then her children will have no share in the property of her father after his death, if other heirs of her father are present.

Q. With all respect I have a question in regards to a fathers wealth distribution. We could not find a ulooma whose capable of giving answers to our questions here in Fiji. I believe your instituion compromises of uloomas of high calibre. Question one: What is the true concept or shariah rulling on how a fathers wealth should be distributed among his children? Question two: Does Shariah allow a father to decide what he will give to which child? Question three: Can a father decide not to give anything to one child? Question four: What happens if the father makes a will for properties to be distributed after his death, who gets what? Question five: What percentage is to be left to the wife? Question six: Suppose if one of the son passes away does is his share from the fathers wealth suppose to be directed to his wife and kids or does his share no longer exist? Question seven: Do the girls receive equal shares as the boys? The other issue I have is can a muslim eat or drink at another muslims house who meaningly promotes and consumes haraam meat at their home, such as meat which is slaughtered against shariah practices or in other words I should say those animals who are stunned prior to slaughter or being mechanically slaughtered. Also I would like to know if a Muslim has got a practice or promotes munafiqat, and there are solid evidences of him promoting munafiqat such as hiding the truth and speaking untruthfully, can we call them a munafiq? and what are the signs of a munafiq as per Al-quran. Some of my questions may be offending but it is extremely difficult to live amongst the muslim community in Fiji and New Zealand. Your answers will make my life much easier insha-Allah. 244 views
