The ruling on a heir taking more than his share

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Umm Janan from Najran, please, my sister Umm Janan. Peace be upon you. And upon you be peace. If you please, ask the Honorable Shaykh. My grandmother has passed away, and she had a room. Her eldest son sold the room to his second wife after the eldest son died. Then the deceased man's brother came forward regarding the room to take a sum of money. The money is for the relocation of their mother to the Jizan region to perform the good deed for their mother.

The Shaykh:
In any case, what the deceased leaves behind belongs to the heirs according to what Allah the Exalted has prescribed, and it is not permissible for some of them to take it exclusively or to take more than their share.

The questioner:
Okay, that is enough.

The Shaykh:
May Allah guide you, be patient, may Allah guide you, please proceed. I say that it is not permissible for any one of them to take exclusively or to take more than his share, and if there is a dispute and litigation among them, the Sharia court is there for them. Yes.
