Is it permissible for a man to sell a house to his two sisters, then claim ownership of it after their death, after forging the signature of one of them, and the other paying the price despite her unwillingness?

Dispute cases are handled by the judiciary, as it is best equipped to hear from the parties to the dispute and ascertain the facts. A Mufti, on the other hand, only hears from one party. If the house was sold in a sale that fulfilled all the conditions, it becomes the property of the two female buyers, and the forgery of one of their signatures or her deception is not taken into account. If one of them voluntarily and contentedly signed for the house to be for her brother after her death, this is a will, and she has the right to revoke it.
