What is the ruling of the Shariah concerning the method of distributing my deceased mother's jewelry, and must all that she left of it be distributed?
The mother's will to distribute a portion of her jewelry is executed under two conditions: that the bequest does not exceed one-third of the estate, and that it is for a non-heir. If these two conditions are not met, the estate is distributed among the heirs according to Islamic law. The remainder of the estate is divided among her children, with the male receiving the share of two females. If one of the daughters passed away before the mother, she and her two daughters receive nothing. If she passed away after the mother, she receives her share, and it is inherited from her, with her husband receiving one-fourth, her two daughters receiving two-thirds, and the remainder going to her full brothers and sisters, with the male receiving the share of two females.
