Question
The father passed away leaving a wife, two sons, and two daughters. Fatima received her share of 10,000 dinars and renounced her rights in court. There was an amount in the bank that was used to build a floor which was rented out. The mother and Noha were using the rent from the apartments, and whatever was left, the mother deposited in the bank for the two sons (who are married). The mother passed away 15 years after the father's death. Recently, there was 21,000 in the bank after expenses for the mother in the hospital, and the house is valued at 95,000. What is the share of the children, Noha, and Fatima?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: What Fatima did is correct in that she relinquished her share of the inheritance for ten thousand, and what remains is for the other heirs. There is a partnership in ownership among them, and their actions are valid if agreed upon by them. The house is divided from the mother's share, with the mother receiving one-eighth, and the share for Nahid and the two sons is for the male like the share of two females. After the mother's death, her share is divided among them; the male receives like the female. Fatima inherits with them from the mother's share, and all the money in the bank belongs to the two sons. And God knows best.
