Does the sister have a share in her deceased mother's apartment, even though she never lived in it and treated her mother poorly?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The daughter has a legal share in her mother's inheritance by virtue of lineage. Filial piety or disobedience, or residency, do not affect inheritance. Disobedience or abandonment are not impediments to inheritance. Therefore, the sister must be given her share of the apartment left by the mother.
