The questioner : His first question states: I had a grandfather who passed away, leaving behind my father, two brothers of my father, and two sisters of his, meaning three sons and two daughters. The two daughters were married, and he left behind agricultural land amounting to approximately sixty feddans. The sons of the deceased, my father and his brothers, divided it among themselves and did not give their sister anything on the grounds that they were married. Is it true that marriage deprives a daughter of her right to inheritance? If not, what must they do now?
The Shaykh : Marriage does not deprive a daughter of her right to inheritance; she has a right to inheritance whether she is married or not. It is obligatory for your father and your uncles in this case to give their sister her share of the inheritance. It is well known that, as Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) mentioned, the inheritance of children is such that the male receives the share of two females. Therefore, your father and each of your uncles receive two shares, and each of the two sisters receives one share. Yes.
