Q: I have a question regarding inheritance. My father died in 2004 and left a property. That property comprises of double storey house. We are three brothers and three sisters. Now the question is that we all have used property for our own use and was never rented however two brothers have spent large amounts of money in restructuring of that property, now those brothers want to give their sisters share of inheritance in that house. Shall we calculate the value of property in 2004 and value of property in current market situation? or shall we calculate the current value of property in condition of before reconstruction? Note:- House was double story when our dad died and now it is triple story but all money is paid by two brothers. I would like to have solution from mufti saheb regarding this.

Q: My father passed away recently. We are 7 siblings and 1 half sibling from my dad's previous marriage. My dad had bequeathed verbally that his car should be sold and the money should be used in building a musjid. My dad also bequeathed verbally that he has 50000 rands aside for his two daughters marriages and this money should be split between the two. My dad had income coming in from a rental property as well. And finally he has a paid house that my brother contributed to it. How is all this distributed? Can the verbal bequeath be accepted? Do gifts / bequeaths have to be only from his 1/3 of the total property? Is gifts and bequeaths separate? Do we have to first to subtract all the funeral expenses,debts fidya then distribute? I understand this should be done from the 1/3. Is this correct? How is the rental property going to be distributed?

Q: After my father passed away, I was aware of a debt of my fathers that had not been paid. After enquiries, an amount was determined and before sharing out the estate left by my father the debt was settled to the inheritors of the other party. All parties agreed to the amount. My question is; will this mean that the debt has been settled and that my father's burden has been lifted.
