How is an inheritance divided among 3 sons and 6 daughters, given a will to build a mosque on an area of 140 meters, and the deceased having debts?
The debts of the deceased must be settled before the will and the division of the inheritance, based on the Almighty's saying: "after any bequest which he may have made or debt." Then, the deceased's will to build a mosque is executed from the remaining one-third after the debt. If it exceeds one-third, the heirs' consent is required for the excess. After that, the inheritance is divided among the heirs. If the heirs are only sons and daughters, it is divided with the male receiving the share of two females. The inheritance is divided into twelve shares: two shares for the son and one share for the daughter.
