The ruling on giving the paternal grandfather and grandmother their full share of the inheritance
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: My father passed away (may Allah have mercy on him and on all the deceased Muslims), and after him remained my mother, my sisters, and my paternal grandfather and grandmother. When distributing his estate, my mother and some of my brothers refused to give my grandfather and grandmother their share, saying they would give them a piece of land that would suffice them instead of the rest. I say they should give them their full share. What do you advise us to do?
Answer:
Yes, it is obligatory to give them their full share, unless they themselves agree to a settlement or compromise; in that case, there is no harm. If they agree to it, there is no harm. However, forcing them to do so is not permissible. It is obligatory to give the inheritance to its rightful owners,, and there is no objection if one settles for less than his right.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
