What is the ruling of Islamic law regarding the division of a house inherited by six daughters, after it was rebuilt by agreement among them, and their married brothers refused to contribute to the building costs, then demanded their share of the house at its current price after rebuilding and not at its price before rebuilding, knowing that the mother's money and pension were mixed with the money designated for the building?
Such issues, which involve disputes and conflicts among heirs, commingling of funds, and numerous lawsuits, require a court ruling or a direct consultation with all parties to the dispute by a qualified scholar, based on the Prophet Muhammad’s (peace be upon him) saying: «O Ali, when two litigants sit before you, do not judge between them until you hear from the second as you have heard from the first, for if you do so, the judgment will become clear to you.»
It is also necessary to know whether the old house was demolished and a new one built with the agreement of all heirs or not. It is recommended to refer the matter to the Sharia court or consult with jurisprudents.
