How is the rent of the deceased father's house, which is leased by the legal heirs—two brothers and one sister—distributed? And is the house considered real estate?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The income generated from inherited property or any other property that yields income is distributed among the heirs just like the property itself. So, if a person passes away leaving two sons and one daughter, the property is divided into five shares: two shares for each son and one share for the daughter. If the property is rented out, the rent is divided according to these shares. Similarly, if it is sold, the proceeds are divided in the same manner.
