The answer

It appears that the agreement between you, your friend, and your son regarding profit distribution pertains only to the hangar business. Any additional commercial activity undertaken by your son thereafter is not included in this contract. Therefore, you have no right to his profits, except for what relates to the use of your commercial name. You are entitled to financial compensation for its use, the value of which will be determined by the Sharia court and experts for the duration of fifteen years. As for the share of your heirs, it relates to what you owned during your lifetime, such as the commercial name and your share from the hangar business.
