They were our ancestors who did not inherit from women, so the inheritance has now come to us. Do we divide our inheritance with the previous women?

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: Several generations of our ancestors did not give women their inheritance, so the inheritance has now come to us and to my father. Do we take from the heirs what was previously withheld and divide it among the previous women, or what do we do?

Answer:
What has passed is gone; you have no concern with it. But if you have a claim, if you have a claim, then you inherit for the women. As for if you have no claim, this goes back to the one to whom the affairs belong. Also, you do not go back to the past to take what belongs to the past women. No.
