Inheritance
Question
In my will I have a home in which my wife and 1 son and 3 daughters live. If I am to have my assets distributed Islamically upon death - How is the value of the home distributed - is it sold to discharge the distribution - where will the wife and children live then?
Answer
If all the heirs agree to remain in the house then they may remain and you will not have to divide the home. All of them may use the house in proportion to their shares.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
