Q: My husband died two years back and left wealth in the shape of cash in an account which is on a basis of either and survival. Now its totally my property or his parents have a share? Remember I have three kids living with me. I am still not married and nor I will be.
Q: My question is about inheritance. This is the case: Christian Sitti (grandmother) which made her best to raise muslim kids passed away on November 2015. Her muslim husband passed away long time ago. 4 kids: 2 male + 2 women 1 of the women is a widow and has 5 kids: their economical situation is unstable (all of them) Their kids: 3 male 2 women, from them 1 boy still single and 1 girl still single. All Muslim. The grandmother passed away leaving behind her lots of wealth and properties. She used to always say that she would leave her wealth to 4 of her granddaughters which used to live with her (daughters of her male son) Now that she passed away. They decided to distribute her wealth in the islamic way: 2, 2, 1, 1 Although most of her wealth is invested in properties, in which any of her daughters are included. The situation now is the following. One of the brothers is in charge of the distribution of his mothers wealth, while the daughters say that their mom would always say that they would be the ones in charge. I forgot to mention that all of them are multi millionaires, expect the widow daughter which has 5 kids and no one of them has wealth. He decided to give from the wealth 1 property for the youngest not married daughter in the widow, and 1 property for the widow, out from all the wealth that their mother left behind, leaving almost the rest of the wealth for the 4 granddaughters that used to live with her( daughters of her son). What is from the Islamic point of view the right thing to do please? I am the wife of the oldest son of the widow daughter, which at the same moment is the grandmothers first grandson. We moved in to Palestine to give our family a good Islamic education, please I would like to know if it is permissible for my husband to tell his mother (the widow daughter since she was 36 yeards old) to tell her mother not to accept this way of dividing the inheritance because they are willing to give her something symbolic which does not protect her neither her offsprings while accepting to give her mothers wealth and properties to the 4 granddaughters which none of them are married yet. The widow daughter which is the mother of my husband is willing to be unfair between her kids just to avoid fighting with her wealthy brother. By the way in her condition of widow with 5 kids she didn't have economical support from her wealthy family.
Q: A woman has 2 brothers, 1 sister, nephews and nieces. No parents, no husband, no children. How is her estate divided?
Q: My father recently passed away. The question relates to matters of inheritance
a. A number of assets were ‘given” to his daughters (no sons) in his lifetime, which he told many people that ownership was for the daughters alone. He (the father) paid the zakaat and managed the assets, related income and expenditure till his death. The question is whether the shariah ownership it’s with the daughters or the estate.
b. An income generations asset was put into a trust. The daughters were again given ownership, however all in the name of heir children. In this case the net funds received were kept separately. When a payout was made it was paid on to the daughters. The question is whether the shariah ownership it’s with the daughters or the estate.

2. My fathers wealth. We were four brothers one passed away a long time ago 35 years and he left a daughter who at time was only three years old my family decided to get her mother to marry my v young brother to her mother who is still married to her and has three of his own children + one niece/daughter whom he brought up v well and is now married has family of her own point is my father did not leave a written will (common in our culture) but had expressed his will/opinion i.e. she (my late brother daughter+her mother are now) are now my younger brother family etc so my both parents (both passed away recently) intention will understanding was same that the wealth would be divided in three alive brothers but again common thing in our culture/fam my uncle being elder has different ideas as my younger bro wife is also his sister in law (uncles) and is v v close to him so he saying it should be divided in four in favour of his sister in law complication comes as some of our father wealth is mutual with uncle ie before my parents passed away we swapped some properties mutually with my uncle but never transferred registered them to any ones names they remained on my father and uncle names but since then my uncle has sold his entire wealth that he got from us/my father in swap but still has our share which is on his name but wont transfer it to us unless we do it to by his will ie divide by four.
