After death when shares are divided as per Shariah, can the person (who has no husband and children)who dies write a will that she wishes to give her car to her nephew and furnitures to so and so and gold to so and so etc. only bank balance to be divided among the sisters and brother. Is it right?

One can only dedicate one third of the wealth to people who would not inherit him or her through sharia! The rest must be divided by shariah law!

After my father’s death we siblings being the only inheritors alive and my mother,We gave the custody of inheritance to mother stating we have no objection in her taking over the inheritance, we signed the documents in front of the judge making her the rightful owner of the inheritance .So she can do anything like buy a flat for my brother from that money which will be his only? please explain

If you gave her the inheritance as a gift, it becomes hers! However, she must not give a gift to one of her children while depriving the others!

My father bought a flat in Pakistan when he was alive,my younger brother is jobless n lives there with his family.The flat my mom bought with our inheritance for him is in UAE where i reside,my husband doesn’t have a good job and hence we live in this flat we give a small amount as rent to the younger brother. Since my other two siblings said that it was his right as all of us thought the flat is his.Whom should we give the rent to ?

The question is not clear! The flat in Pakistan belongs to the heirs and your brother must pay rent to the rest of the heirs! The flat in UAE was bought by your mother with the money of the heirs, therefore, whoever lives in it should also give the rent to the heirs!

My father passed away leaving money which we let our mother handle.In her life she invested in a flat for young brother from that money,as he didn’t complete his education,she even spent from that money upon his education but he didn’t complete. On her deathbed she divided money left amongst all and said the flat is for younger brother.Do the rest have a share in it?

If she bought it from your inheritance, she wasn’t allowed to do this And the flat belongs to all of you.

She has no share in it at all!

My husband had kids from a previous marriage. He divorced and left them 2 houses. We bought our house and I ask to give it to our kids and put the house in my name for legal reason. He agreed only if he can get the house back any time he asks. We had big argument because he is asking for the house back.How can I negotiate with him? This is not fair on my kids. If anything happens to him his 1st kids can evict us.

Muslims are held accountable to their conditions they had set upon themselves.The house was registered in your name for legal reasons and not as a gift. This means that he is the real owner and you can’t take a penny of it!

A man dies and his father is still alive, can the children of deceased get a share on what their grand father poses, while the deceased has brothers and sister too.?

No, they can’t because they are blocked by their uncles and aunts.Their grandfather can write a will and give them something.

I just had a question regarding inheritance and the shares allocated by Allah for each heir. My sister died and leaves behind a mother, a grandmother, 3 brothers and 1 sister. I know the mother would have 1/6 th. Just unsure regarding what the brothers and sister get and also if the grandmother has any share. Its just that in my area there is no authentic islamic centre.

I presume she has no father, no husband and no children.The mother gets 1/6The rest is divided by 7 where the sister gets one share and each brother gets 2 shares.

I have a certain amount of gold ornaments. Its my personal belongings. My husband pays zakah voluntarily. have two sons and two daughters. I wish to DISTRIBUTE my ornaments among my daughters. They may wear or sell them for any purpose like higher studies etc. For my sons, I feel that being males, they are supposed to earn kasb-e-halal for themselves. Kindly let me know if this distribution is permissible?

This is unfair and totally prohibited. You must be fair in giving them gifts and they must be equal whether earning or not.

My father wants me to be the nominee for the riba based banks where he has accounts. I have always advised him to shift to Islamic banks. His intention is when he dies I have the authority to handle his money and distribute it to my brother and sister who lives in different countries. Can I be the nominee for riba based banks?

This seems permissible as you have nothing to do with riba at the moment and this is only for distributing the inheritance.
