What the father leaves behind, after fulfilling all due rights, is considered an inheritance to be divided among his heirs according to Islamic law. The heirs can divide the inheritance by one of three methods: muhayah (division of usufruct), muradah (division by mutual consent), or qur'ah (lottery for divisible assets, selling indivisible assets and distributing the proceeds). The income from real estate is inherited, and maintenance costs are paid by the heirs from their personal funds, or from the income, or from the deceased's money. If some heirs are in need, others may prioritize them or give them their share, and their share must be given to them if they demand it.
