Are the mother's previous salaries taken into account when dividing the father's inheritance? Is it permissible for the mother to delay the division of the inheritance until all children complete their studies and get married? Is it permissible for her not to inform the children of the value of the inheritance? Is the car the father bought for his eldest son before his death considered part of the inheritance? Is it permissible for the mother to refuse to pay the remaining price of the daughter's car under the pretext of the Hasbi Council? Is it permissible for her to take what she spent on the minors from their share after they reach maturity? Is it permissible for her to request a comprehensive official power of attorney from the children to control the inheritance?
- The wife's money is her property, and it is not permissible for the husband to take it except with her full consent. A wife's donation of her salary to her husband is considered a non-refundable gift from the estate.
- The deceased's assets transfer to the heirs immediately after death. It is not permissible to conceal the inheritance or delay its distribution. If an heir desires their share, it must be given to them.
- Parents must be just in giving gifts to their children, and it is not permissible to favor one over another except for a legitimate reason. If one child is given a gift while others are not, it must be reclaimed.
- It is not permissible for the mother to delay the distribution of the inheritance under the pretext of marrying off the remaining children or completing their studies.
- The children are not required to authorize their mother to dispose of the inheritance, and she is not obligated to provide for them if they possess their own wealth.
