What is the method for distributing inherited property according to the legitimate legal proportions, and what is the legitimate legal ruling on equalizing the share of a female with that of a male if the mother desires it, and is there equality between male and female when the mother distributes her share among the children?

The fundamental principle in inheritance matters is that they should be presented to the Sharia courts. If the properties are registered in the name of the deceased father, they belong to him and are to be divided among his heirs according to Islamic law. Anyone who claims partnership is required to provide evidence. If they establish it, they take their share and its proceeds; otherwise, they receive nothing beyond their inheritable share, unless the heirs confirm their claim.

The rents and proceeds of properties follow their ownership. If they belonged to the deceased, they are divided among his heirs. If some of them belonged to others, each takes their share.

It is not permissible to compel heirs to make the female's share equal to the male's, as the legal division is "for the male, what is equal to the share of two females." If the mother of the children wishes to divide her share during her lifetime, this is a gift and not an inheritance, and there is a jurisprudential disagreement whether it should be treated like an inheritance or equally.
