What is the ruling of the Sharia regarding the distribution of the estate of the deceased father, specifically concerning the mentioned real estate, taking into consideration what was stated about the last two apartments, and what was agreed upon among the heirs?
What the eldest daughter built with the permission of her father or the heirs belongs to her. If she agrees to its demolition, she is not entitled to anything unless she stipulated compensation. The same applies to what the other daughter paid for the apartment. If the heirs agree to distribute a certain amount among themselves to vacate the property, this is permissible. If the matter leads to the heirs acquiring real estate, it is divided among them according to the inheritance distribution: the wife receives one-eighth, and the remainder goes to the children, with the male receiving the share of two females. The inheritance can be divided by mutual agreement, by drawing lots, or by selling the properties and dividing their price.
