The answer

If a person grants a portion of his company to his brothers while he is in good health, the grant is valid, and his brothers become partners with him according to the specified proportions. However, if the grant is made during a death-threatening illness (marad al-mawt), it takes the ruling of a will, and its provisions apply, such as its disbursement from one-third of the estate and the need for the heirs' approval. If the grant is valid, the brothers' share of the profits is calculated starting from the date of their entry into the company.
