ANSWER: This must be distributed according to Shariah otherwise there is a severe punishment awaiting those who grab people’s property unjustly. You should try to tell them about Allah’s wrath.

ANSWER: If your grandfather died, only his living sons and daughters would inherit him. Once they themselves die, their children would take their father’s or mother’s share. You will inherit 2/3rd of your father’s share and the rest would go to the next of kin and those are the paternal cousins.

She can write a will and give them up to one third of her wealth after her death. She can also give them while alive all or some of what she has.

My grandfather has died has left some inheritance. The family has decided and agreed upon to give more wealth to the poor recipients. While wealthy recipients have shown consent to this idea. Is it permissible? Shouldn’t they first distribute the wealth according to Shariah and then let the wealthy recipients give their share to the poor ones? Is consent of recipient enough for such distribution?
