Should the division of the ten residential apartments left by the father be redone, taking into consideration that two of them were designated for two sons who married and live in them, and that four apartments were designated for the marriage of the remaining sons but have not yet been used? And is the designation of these apartments considered a bequest, or do they fall under the inheritance and must be divided according to Islamic law?
If the heirs are limited to those mentioned, the inheritance is divided as follows: the wife gets one-eighth due to the existence of a lineal descendant, and the remainder goes to the sons and daughters by ta'sib (agnatic inheritance), with the male receiving the share of two females. All the deceased's possessions and rights are included in the estate. It must be noted that matters of inheritance are serious and complex, and a mere is insufficient. Rather, the matter must be referred to the courts for investigation and to ensure there are no other heirs, wills, debts, or rights that take precedence over the heirs' rights.
