Question

My Grandfather Passed away in 1971.Left behind a Wife , 4 Sons & 2 Daughter

Question : How to distribute his Property according to sheriah

Answer

According to the Islamic Law of Succession and Inheritance, distribution of an Estate will only commence after funeral expenses, debts (including legal costs) and bequests (if any) made to non-heirs - which will not exceed one-third (1/3) of the Estate after debts and funeral expenses - have been settled. Thereafter, all assets form part of the Nett Estate and will have to be distributed according to the Islamic Law of Succession and Inheritance.

The nett Estate will be divided into 80 equal shares and distributed as follows: Wife receives 10 shares, Each son receives 14 shares and Each daughter receives 7 shares.
