Inheritance

How should the sisters' inheritance be determined after their father's death if the brothers purchased assets using business profits without giving cash to the sisters? Is it based on the current value of those assets or the original cash amount due?

If the brothers have taken permission from their sisters to use the sisters' share in buying the assets as a loan from the sisters for the brothers, then the sisters will be entitled to their original amount of the money. But if the brothers used the money of their sisters to buy the assets in partnership with brothers, then the sisters will be partners in the current value of the sssets.

Widow . Daughter . Inheritance

I have a question about inheritance distribution. My mother-in-law is a widow with three adult daughters. How will her wealth be divided after her passing, considering she has grandsons and sons-in-law?

Her three living daughters are her inheritors. If she hs a living husband, he will inherit one quarter from her. No grandsons or granddaughters nor son in law is entitled to inherit anything from her unless she makes a will to give whatever she wants to whomever she wants. The will is limited to maximum one third of her wealth.

Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullah

A person can only have a will(written or spoken) up to 1/3 of their wealth and if it goes beyond this limit, the legitimacy or efficiency of this will is dependent on the permission of the rest of the heirs, for example if one decides that all his house which is worth $1m be for one of the heirs, this will is only accepted up to $333,333 and the rest will be given to him unless the other heirs accept the will. Otherwise this person will have 1/3 of the house as a result of the deceased will and will also have a share in the 2/3 of the remaining according to inheritance rules.

Wealth . Inheritance

How should the wealth be distributed among a lady's children if she receives it from her father's side and then passes away?

Same like the distribution of her own wealth between her children. Every son will get two shares and every daughter will get one share. Whatever she had inherited from her father or mother, etc, belongs to her and owned by her.

What is the Islamic ruling on the division of a father's wealth amongst siblings? How should a mother's inherited wealth from her father be distributed? Can a father leave a smaller portion for daughters in his will?

1. The share of the permanent wife from her deceased husband is one eighth from the wealth he left

2. The remaining seven eighths is the right of the sons and daughters of the deceased which must be distributed among them in equal portions shares of one share to every daughter and two shares to every son

3. If the mother passes away after inheriting from her husband, all her wealth should be distributed among her sons and daughter in the same portions of one share for every daughter and two shares for every son. It should be mentioned that these shares are proposing that the deceased did not leave a living father or mother otherwise they will also be entitled to inherit from their son or daughter.
