How is the list of the wife's dowry items, which includes gold presented by the husband, furniture bought by the husband, and kitchenware and tableware bought by the wife's family, distributed after her death? And is the customary agreement valid শরعًا (Islamically), which stipulates that the husband takes the furniture, and the wife's family takes the kitchenware and tableware, in addition to the price of the gold sold by the husband?
There is no legal impediment to executing the aforementioned division if it is based on mutual consent. This is called a division by consent or agreement, and there is no harm in some parties willingly relinquishing their share in it. However, if there is no mutual consent, then recourse must be made to the legal (Shariah) division, and it is recommended to have it documented in the Shariah courts.
