Inheritance

Question

We have a house which was jointly owed by my parents. My mother passed away 6 years ago. My father is 88 years old and not well. We are 4 brothers and 3 sisters, how would the inheritance work once my father passes on? There is no debt on the house.

Mufti Ebrahim Salejee · Accepted Answer

If your mother did not have any surviving heirs besides your father and her children and the father does not have any other heirs besides his children then the house will be divided into 11 equal shares and distributed as follows:

Each son will receive 2 shares

Each daughter will receive 1 share

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
