What is the ruling regarding gold, a phone, clothes, and household items left by a woman who passed away, leaving behind her parents, three sons, and a daughter? Is the gold to be distributed like the rest of the inheritance? Does the phone revert to the one who gifted it to her? And how are these personal belongings inherited?

All the deceased's possessions are divided among the heirs according to each one's share. This includes gold, the phone, and clothes. These items are added to the general estate. Some adult and mature heirs may willingly relinquish a part of their share to others. The estate is not divided until after reviewing the Sharia courts to ensure there are no wills, debts, or other rights that take precedence over the heirs' right.
