The question

Is it permissible not to give the husband's brothers their financial share from the husband's apartment if they refuse to give the wife and her daughters their financial share from the husband's father's house, knowing that what the wife and her daughters will inherit from the husband's father's house is far greater than what the husband's brothers will inherit from the husband's apartment?

The answer

None of the heirs may disinherit the others from their share, for the husband's inheritance is transferred to all his heirs. In case of disagreement, the matter must be referred to the competent شرعي (Sharia) court specialized in resolving disputes, or to Islamic centers for Muslim communities in non-Islamic countries.
