Does the uterine half-brother inherit the house that the mother built with her savings from the father’s pension on land the mother bought with the father’s money, and does he inherit the mother’s gold jewelry (her wedding gift from the father), and is it permissible to withhold bank interest from him for fear of his mismanagement of it?

The adjudication of inheritance matters and shared rights falls within the purview of the Sharia courts, given their ability to hear all parties and ascertain the truth of the claims. The questioner can be provided with three general points: First, there is a difference in ruling between the mother's own property and what she manages under guardianship or agency; only the former is inheritable. Second, all children of the deceased woman, whether from one husband or more, are equal in their entitlement to inherit from her. Third, the inheritance of usurious (riba) profits is a matter of scholarly disagreement, with the majority opinion holding that it is forbidden for the heir. Each heir should be consulted before disposing of their notional share of such profits.
