Inheritance of Siblings in the Presence of the Father and the Ruling on Giving Gifts Specifically to Males
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. The Shaykh says: This is a continuation of the question. Honorable Shaykh, after the death of my eldest brother, the father wants to write out the estate and distribute it during his lifetime. It is his intention to deprive the daughters of their legal share in the inheritance. We are three brothers and six daughters; four of the daughters are married, one is in university, and the sixth is suffering from a mental illness. We also own a piece of agricultural land worth approximately 830,000 pounds, and two houses worth a total of 60,000 pounds. What is the share of each individual, whether male or female?
Answer:
You have no share while the father is alive. The owner of the wealth is present, and you have no inheritance from him while he is alive except after his death. The wealth is his; the wealth is his, and he may dispose of it within the limits of what Allah has permitted. However, he does not have the right to favor some of his children over others, meaning to give gifts to the males to the exclusion of the females. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Fear Allah and be just among your children." Therefore, he must be just in giving gifts; he should not give to some of the children and withhold from the others, whether they are males or females. Yes.
