Question
We have one house property, the property is on my mother's name. Our parents have 3 daughters and 4 sons, all of them have got married and living separately. Myself, my wife, my younger brother & his family are living with our parents in the house currently. Now our parents (they are very aged) wants to sell this house and distribute it to all the members. Question is how much share each will get.... how much my dad will get, how much my mom will get and how much the sons & daughters will get. The valuation of the house property is US $ 1000000.
Answer
he Islamic law of Succession and Inheritance will only take effect after your Dad passes away. Till then, he is considered as the owner of the house. If he wishes to distribute the house in his lifetime, he may do so. There are no specified shares for that.
If he wishes to use the shares of inheritance as a guideline, he may do so.
and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
