What is the religious ruling on a contract of ownership for a property or land for a group of brothers that does not mention the share of the male or the female, and does the female inherit the same as the male in this case?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If the property is an inheritance, it is divided among the brothers, with the male receiving the share of two females. If they acquired it by purchase, it is divided among them according to the amount each paid; if they paid equally, the property is divided equally. However, if it was gifted to them by a donor without any stipulation of preference, it is divided equally among them. It is preferable to consult the donor to ascertain their intent.
