Is the law that dictates the equal division of a house among its owner and all registered occupants (including guests, the owner's married children, and grandchildren) permissible, and must it be dealt with according to Islamic law, or is it an injustice that must be rejected by dividing the house among the rightful legal heirs, with the male receiving the share of two females? And is it permissible, according to Islamic law, for one of the sons to conceal this social study in order to re-divide the house among the rightful legal heirs only?
The son acted correctly by withdrawing the search from the house file, as it is impermissible, according to Islamic law, to deprive heirs of their rights based on the aforementioned law. Allah Himself has undertaken the division of inheritances in His Book, so Allah's division is obligatory for the inheritance of the deceased, whether in the house or elsewhere. Those who are registered but are not heirs have no share in the house.
