The question

Is it permissible for the father to take the apartment at its current price (300,0 EGP) in 2020, knowing that its value was 120,0 EGP in 2015 when his mother passed away, and that his share of the inheritance was 50,0 EGP (considering the apartment as part of the inheritance)? Is it the right of his uncle to give him his share of the invested amount (450,0 EGP) without profits or compensation for the currency devaluation? Is it permissible for the father to claim an amount for legal fees and court expenses?

The answer

Disputes are not to be answered by fatwa but are to be referred to the judiciary or arbitration.

1. Your grandfather inherits one-fourth of your grandmother's estate, and his share is divided among his heirs, unless an irrevocable divorce is proven to have occurred before her death. 2. Nothing from the apartment becomes permissible for your father until the matter of your grandmother's heirs is settled. 3. If your father does not agree with his uncles to take the apartment in exchange for his share of the money, he now has the right to take his inheritance from it at its current value. The judge will consider compensation for the decrease due to currency devaluation if it exceeds one-third.
