The second question of Fatwa No. ( 1345 )
Q2: A man bought a piece of land with his brother during his lifetime, and they put it in the names of their sons, excluding the daughters, on the basis that the daughters would not have a share in it, and that the money, or some of it, came from the sons, even though the daughters are insisting on participating in it. Is this valid, or is it necessary to include them?
A2: If the money used to buy the land came from the sons' money, then the daughters have no right to it whatsoever. If some of it was bought with some of the sons' money, then the daughters have no right to that portion either. However, if the money came from the parents, it is obligatory to be just between the children, due to the generality of the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):Sahih al-Bukhari 2587 . The same ruling applies if some of the money for the land came from the parents; then it is obligatory to be equitable among them regarding that portion.
And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
