Are the car installments deducted from the son's salary considered a debt owed by the father after his death? Should the remaining installments be paid in cash before the distribution of the inheritance? Is it permissible to dispose of the minor son's share of the inheritance for its growth? Is it permissible to distribute part of the amount to the heirs before the entire inheritance is completed? What is the share of each heir from an amount of 48,000? Is Zakat obligatory on amounts, shares, and investment funds before the distribution of the inheritance?

The estate is distributed among the heirs as follows: The wife receives one-eighth due to the existence of a lineal descendant, and the remainder goes to the children by way of ta'sib (residuary heirship), with the male receiving the share of two females. As for the car taken by the brother, if it is proven to be his property through a gift or other means, and its price was a debt owed by the father, then it must be paid from the estate before its distribution, because debts become due upon death. The estate begins with the payment of the father's debts, including zakat if he had not paid it. There is no harm in distributing a portion of the estate when needed, and then distributing the remainder. The share of the minor brother is a trust to be managed in his best interest. The questioner should be advised that matters of inheritance are serious and complex, and cannot be settled by a mere fatwa; rather, they must be presented to the Sharia courts for investigation.
