Q: I would like to know if I can receive money from my mother (who adopted me) in her will. This money is in accounts accumulating interest and some of these accounts are even in my name upto to this day. What should I do that is islamically allowed? Would I get a sin if some accounts are still in my name. She lives in another country away from me.
Q: My mother passed away 35 years ago my father never remarried. I am his only son and have two elder sisters. My father passed away recently leaving a will which stated that all his household content is to be given to my elder sisters child which is his grandchild. This child also has the first option to buy his house at market price. He has 15 other grandchildren. This has split the family as a grandchild may not inherit from him. The money from the sale of his house is to be divided equally between his three children. Can you please give advise as to the right way things should be done.
Q: My parents married out of community of property, but jointly owned a house. My mother passed away before my father. Mother left no will. My father made an Islamic will. He also typed on a separate letter that half of his share of the house goes to his divorced daughter after he passes away. He passed away leaving 5 children i.e 1 married son, 3 married daughters and 1 divorced daughter. Some are complaining that the separate letter defeats the Islamic object of the will. Please advise.
