What is the ruling of the Sharia on the share of the brothers who relinquished their inheritance in court, which was registered in the name of one of the younger brothers, after the eldest brother paid them their share?
If the eldest brother bought the share of his two brothers in the guesthouse and this was documented in court, then their share belongs to him. Thus, he takes his share and the share of his two brothers, making his portion three-tenths of the guesthouse. As for the remaining seven-tenths, they are divided among the rest of the brothers, each one receiving one-tenth, provided that the deceased has no heirs other than the ten sons. Otherwise, the inheritance is divided according to the heirs, with the eldest brother taking the share of his two brothers. The registration of the relinquishment in the name of one of the brothers other than the eldest, due to his absence at the time of documentation, does not grant him the right to own that share; rather, it belongs to the eldest brother unless he waives it and gifts it to him.
