How is the inheritance of the deceased grandfather – which consists of a residential house and a agricultural plot of land – to be divided among his only son (the father) and his six daughters, knowing that the grandfather gave some of his daughters plots of land during his lifetime, and that the father lives in the grandfather’s house and intends to sell it in the future after renovating it and distributing its price among the heirs?

First: If the grandfather gives some of his daughters money due to their needs (poverty, illness, or a reason that necessitates special allocation), there is no blame on him, and he is not required to give to the rest unless there is a need.

Second: If a father dies leaving one son and six daughters, and there are no other heirs, the inheritance is divided such that the male receives the share of two females. So, if the value of the land was 1000 rupees, the son would receive 250 rupees, and each sister would receive 125 rupees. The entire inheritance of the grandfather would be divided in this manner.

Third: The general rule is that the inheritance should be divided immediately after the death of the owner of the wealth. However, if the father agrees with his sisters to sell the house in the future with their consent, there is no harm in that.
