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.

My father has given me some cash as a gift. He has told me that he has already paid Khums on it. Am I liable to pay Khums on it again if one year has passed and I have not used it?
Zaid Alsalami

Bismihi ta'ala

Your father did his duty by paying khums on what was liable for him. Once he transferred that amount to you, it now becomes your responsibility. In regards to gifts and khums, this depends on taqleed, so you will need to refer to your Marja' taqleed to see if khums is liable on gifts.
