How is the estate of a deceased woman to be distributed, given that she left behind a full brother and a full sister, and had written a sales contract to her nephew for seven agricultural Qirats without receiving payment, stipulating that it would take effect after her death? She also verbally willed that the children of her deceased sister should receive an inheritance equal to that of the children of her living sister, knowing that the estate consists of a house sold for 40,000 EGP and 14 Qirats of agricultural land?

If a woman dies and leaves behind only a full brother and a full sister, then the wealth is divided between them with the male receiving the share of two females. As for conditional sales, the majority of scholars deem them void, and the property is considered part of the inheritance, and the buyer must return it to the heirs. If the sale is deemed valid, then the price becomes part of the inheritance. As for a bequest to the children of a living sister, similar to the share of the children of a deceased sister, it is invalid because the children of a sister are not entitled to a legal share. However, a bequest to the children of a deceased sister, similar to the share of the existing sister, is valid within the limits of one-third. It is advisable to consult Sharia courts regarding inheritance matters, due to the possibility of hidden heirs, debts, or bequests.
