The question

How is inheritance to be divided among four daughters, one full brother, and four sons of a full brother, taking into account issues related to the children of deceased sisters, the cost of Hajj for the deceased, whether it is permissible to divide the house during the lifetime of the inheritor, and what is the ruling on household furnishings?

The answer

If the heirs are limited to those mentioned, the daughters receive two-thirds, and the full brother receives the remainder by ta'sib (residuary heirship). The inheritance is divided into twelve shares. The sons of the full brother do not inherit when the full brother is present, nor do the children of the deceased sisters inherit from their maternal uncle. If the deceased passed away after Hajj and Umrah became obligatory upon him, the cost of someone performing Hajj and Umrah on his behalf is taken from his estate before its division. If the deceased gifted his house to his daughters during his lifetime, while he was healthy and not in distress, then it belongs to them; otherwise, it is part of the estate. As for the movable property in the house, if it was included in the gift and taken possession of, it belongs to the daughters; otherwise, it is divided among the heirs. It is obligatory to consult the Sharia courts regarding matters of inheritance.
