The questioner : Shaykh, may Allah reward you: A man has eleven daughters and seven sons. He gave the daughters a farm and gave the sons nothing. What is the ruling?
The Shaykh : Yes, are the sons adults or minors?
The questioner : Yes, they are adults.
The Shaykh : Are they adults? Did they consent to this?
The questioner : The father is still alive.
The Shaykh : Yes, I am asking if they consented. That is, if he said to them, "My sons, I have given your sisters such and such," would they consent or not?
The questioner : They consented.
The Shaykh : Did they consent willingly?
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : There is nothing wrong with it.
The questioner : Fine, do the sons have no share in the division?
