How is a building consisting of 9 apartments, 4 shops, a basement, and a garden to be divided legally (according to Islamic law) among 4 daughters and 3 sons, knowing that the basement and shops are rented, and is it permissible to distribute the inheritance before death?
There is no impediment to a person distributing their estate among their heirs, but this distribution is considered a gift from them, not an inheritance; because inheritance requires the death of the inheritor and the life of the heir after them.
