Do the younger brother or women have a share in the main street area taken by the elder brother? What is the ruling on the neighbors' action of taking part of the main street if official documents prove their full ownership of it? What happens if the elder brother sells his original share, and does the younger brother have a share? What is the ruling on the local custom of not counting the main street as part of the inheritance, while it is counted upon sale?

First: If the street is owned by the residents of the street and the law does not prohibit its utilization, then there is no objection to annexing it to the land and disposing of it.
Second: If wealth belonging to the deceased appears after the division of the inheritance, it is included in the inheritance and distributed among all heirs; because custom is not considered if it contradicts Islamic law. If there was an injustice in the initial division and the inheritance still remains, then it is obligatory to re-divide it justly.
