The answer

The property left by the parents is to be divided among the children, with the male receiving twice the share of the female. Thus, the inheritance is divided into eight equal parts: each son receives two parts, and each daughter receives one part. As for the house built by the brother on the land, if he built it as a gift, then it is yours. If he built it for himself, then it is his. The land remains yours collectively, with the male receiving a share equal to that of two females.
