How can a father be persuaded to allocate the rented commercial shops to his three daughters, while taking into account the share of the paternal uncles and aunts in this allocation from the inheritance, if the father agrees to this solution on condition that all heirs approve?

It is permissible for a father to gift some of his wealth to his daughters during his lifetime, provided he is just between them. He is not required to give the same to his brothers or sisters. What he gifted to you while he was healthy and of sound mind becomes your property, and the other heirs do not share in it. His bequest of any money to you is not valid, because a bequest to an heir is not enforceable unless the other heirs approve it.

We draw attention to the fact that it is not permissible for a father to gift some of his heirs or others with the intention of depriving his heirs after his death, as this is a forbidden trick. It does not appear from your father's situation that he intends to deprive an heir, so there is no harm in his giving the gift.
