The meaning of "the deceased's dinner" is unclear. If what is meant are the deceased's assets, then they constitute an inheritance that is to be divided among all heirs according to the prescribed legal division, and it is not exclusive to those who lived with him, as Allah Almighty says: {For men is a share of what the parents and close relatives leave, and for women is a share of what the parents and close relatives leave, be it little or much - a stipulated share.} The heirs can be identified through No. 98864, and to calculate the inheritance, one can use the inheritance page on the website.
