Distribution of assets purchased from the profits of an inherited property that was not distributed immediately after death
Q: I have a question regarding property issue as my father died almost 25 years ago and we are 7 brothers and 5 sisters living with mother Alhamdulillah.
My father left some agricultural land which we have not distributed untill now for some reasons but we have now agreed to divide it according to shariah.
My question is, in the 25 years we have purchased other properties as well like house, plots, car and tractor, etc. from the same agricultural land. How do we divide the other properties which we purchased after our father died?
A: If all the business transactions were done with the mutual consent of all the heirs then all have a share according to their portions of inheritance. The agricultural land as well as whatever was purchased will be the property of all the heirs according to the shares of inheritance.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
