How is the estate of a man who died, leaving behind a wife, a son, and four daughters, to be divided, knowing that he did not pay the zakat due on his wealth, and the unmarried son wants to deduct his marriage expenses of 50,000 pounds from the inheritance, and the wife wants to give the son 40,000 pounds in exchange for the father's Hajj, which the son covered from his own money to enable the mother to perform Hajj, knowing that the value of the estate is 75,000 pounds in cash and a plot of land estimated at 700,000 or 800,000 pounds, and how can the deceased's liability for zakat be cleared?

The obligatory Zakat (definition) on the deceased must first be paid from their estate before it is divided. Then, the legal inheritance is distributed. The wife receives one-eighth due to the existence of a inheriting offspring, and the remainder goes to the son and daughters by ta'sib, with the male receiving the share of two females. It is not permissible to deduct the cost of the son's marriage or the father's Hajj expenses from the estate unless the heirs consent, or if it was a valid will. The legal distribution must be adhered to without resorting to deception against the siblings. It is advisable to consult the Sharia (definition) courts regarding inheritance matters.
