One of my paternal aunts had died before her parents. Does she have the right to share in the parents' property or not, as the parents themselves had never announced a share for their deceased daughter or her children?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

No share for the deceased son or daughter nor to their children after them as far as they died before their parents. When a person dies leaving his own children, and grandchildren, direct children only have the right to inherit from him as far as they were alive when the parent died. Those who died before their parents have no right in inheritance unless all the children have dies before their parents, then their children will inherit from their grand parents because no direct son or daughter are alive.

Wassalam.
Who inherits the property of a father who dies with two daughters and no son? Do the male relatives, such as the deceased's brothers and nephews, get the inheritance instead of his own daughters?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

No one has any right in inheriting from this man but his own two daughters and his wife if she was alive when he passed away. Wife should  get one eighth and rest should be equally divided between the two daughters. If no wife was alive when he passed away, then all the property and wealth should be dived equally between his two daughters only. No one else from the relatives is entitled for any inheritance from him. This is according to Ahlul Bayt (AS) who have the real teachings of the Prophet (SAWA). Sunni brothers have something different which prevents the daughters and give to other male relatives, which is away from Quran and Real Sunnah.

I have a daughter from my previous marriage who never accepted Islam and she now has an illegitimate child. As a practicing Muslim how am I supposed to act towards this child?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

You need to keep in touch with her and treat her nicely being a practicing Muslim so that she will see the great manners of Islam. You should try to invite her to Islam as and when you find a suitable chance. Her being non Muslim does not mean always that she denied Islam deliberately. She might had been a victim of ignorance or misleading propaganda.

You should do your best to give the practical evidence that Islam is the best religion.

My inlaws never questioned my Hijab. However, now that my daughter has started practising it, they actively discourage her. What should I do?
Zoheir Ali Esmail

Bismillah

Thank you for your question. Although each circumstance is different, a starting point, after making sure you and your spouse are on the same page, may be to have a clear conversation with your inlaws to find out why they are uncomfortable with your daughter wearing hijab. The second step would then be to make absolutely clear that this is something you would like for your child and that you are not happy with any type of discouraging. In short, it is important to set a clear boundaries and if that boundary is not respected then you can think of the next appropriate action. 
 

May you always be successful
