Q: My father in-law just passed away recently. We were informed that there is no will for the faraidh of his estate but he has left a verbal message to a male and female witness. Please advise if that is valid and we should abide by it? We are pretty unsure and would like to do it right for the deceased. One more question, if faraidh are not done correctly, what are the consequences?
Q: A mother who has a son and a daughter has made her jewellery into two parcels and put the name of the daughter on one parcel and the name of the son on one parcel. Without the knowledge of the son, she gave the daughter to keep both parcels in her safe and said when she passes away she doesn't want fighting, therefore she has done this. What is the law regarding this jewellery presently and what are the repercussions at the time of the mother's death. The father is alive presently.
Q: My father died. He declared his one property as a gift to me and wrote a letter to society to transfer the flat on my name. Society members and many relatives are witness. He said to many relatives also about this. My question is, does that flat belong to me or should it be distributed between me and my two brothers according to shariah.
Q: If a husband and wife make a will before hand stating if either one of them dies, the property which they live in will transfer to the wife or husband whoever is alive. I just want to clarify if the last person died, than how would you suggest the proper way to distribute the property as we don't have no child. JazakAllah for your valuable time. If you can kindly give e.g. in detail.

Q: My father passed away and left two flats, a car and a large sum of money in a savings account through which my mother and sister (separated from her husband) finance their needs. My father left one flat in my mothers name and other in my sisters name. I have no other sibling. We are the only two daughters of my parents. The car is in my fathers name. The large sum is in the savings accounts that is on my sisters name. There is nothing left in my name. What do I inheret and how much among all this?
Q: My father passed away a week back. He was employed and earned a salary, however, side by side he also had his money deposited with the bank through regular income certificate (RICE) that earned them interest. He had put a large amount in the bank during his lifetime. On the safe side in case of his default, my mother and my sister (separated from her husband) along with her daughter can finance their means. Before, when my father used to earn I accepted all money that my mother used to give me as gifts, they used to give my daughters Eidi. Now that my mothers only way of financing their needs is the interest money that they receive on their deposit, is it permissible for me to accept all gifts and Eidi as I used to do before? Can I eat at their house? I am with my husband and quiet well off Alhamdulillah. My another question is that, we are the only two daughters of my parents. My sister is separated from her husband, she has one daughter, her husband finances none of her needs except her daughters school fee. I am quiet well off with my husband. My father did not write any will before his demise. Do I inherent the same amount of assets and money as my sister? In case my mother and my sister do not give me any part from my fathers inheritance is my father sinful for not distributing his wealth? And if I forgive all my part of inheritance by my will, can I save my father from the punishment of not distributing his wealth?
