So, whats the masaail would it be ok if the daughters forgive my grandfather and their brothers.

Inheritance

Q: My question is my father put the house in mortgage to the bank. One year later he passed away. The loan amount was equal to the house value. No money was paid back to the bank. The bank kept asking for money for several years and finally they sent a letter to possess and auction the property. We were about to lose the house. During that time I came to USA and was able to pay the bank and got the house back from the bank. I allowed my married sister to live on the 1st floor of the house for no rental money, since we all came to USA including my mom and 2 brothers. For few years my mom took the 2nd floor rental income. But after that my sister started to use the rental income for her family. She used the rental income for 20 years. My question is that when I paid for the house to the bank, does the house belong to me or it should be divided according to the Islamic law. I don't want to do injustice to any of my 2 brothers and 2 sisters. Please advise thank you.

Inheritance

Q: My father had passed away and I being his daughter is entitled to inherit from his possession. My father left a large sum deposited in the bank that earned him compound interest annually, he officially was on a job, and earned a modest salary out of which any surplus over domestic expenditure was again deposited. By compound interest, I mean, any interest that was earned on the sum was added to the principal amount so that the next interest receipt could be claimed on the greater sum. After his demise, now any interest earned is brought into use by my mother and sister for their expenditure and for Zakaat purpose, no compounding therefore, now takes place. Before, however, during his lifetime, all his money was diluted with the interest receipts. I want to know whether it is permissible for me to claim my part of inheritance from this interest diluted money? Provided, If any money comes to me, it will no longer be used to earn interest. However, untiI I don't get my part it will remain deposited to earn interest and the money is expected to arrive to me in a few years. Can I receive all my part of inheritance and use it for my means?
