The Ruling on Dividing the Inheritance Rent Among the Heirs
The father passed away and left properties, and the brothers agreed to give the rent of these properties to the sisters. One of the sisters is demanding an apartment from this inheritance, knowing that her share does not equal the price of an apartment. However, the brothers refuse her request and told her: If you want to divide the inheritance, we can do that, but they do not want to give her an apartment. What is the ruling on this, and if her brothers cut ties with her because of this, is it considered severing the ties of kinship?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: The original rule is that the inheritance should be divided among them, and each one takes their share whether it is an apartment or less. The legal division and giving the right do not constitute severing the ties of kinship; because one who demands what is not rightfully theirs is being obstinate. And God knows best.
