What is the ruling on the gift that the grandfather gave to my father, amounting to 7000 Egyptian pounds? Is this gift valid given the reasons the grandfather mentioned to justify it? If the gift is not valid, should the amount be distributed among the heirs, or its equivalent value in gold or the land it was used to purchase? Is it permissible for my father to deduct the expenses of his marriage and the purchase of an apartment for him from the gift amount? Does the grandfather benefit from this after his death? And what is the ruling on registering the house in my father’s name?

The money given by the grandfather to the father is a valid gift, with no injustice involved, especially if the grandfather gave other gifts to his remaining children according to their needs. The father owns the gift by possessing it and disposing of it through buying and selling. The land the father bought with the gifted money and the house the grandfather registered in the father's name both belong to the father, and the heirs have no right to them. Rather, their right is in the land that the grandfather left behind that belonged to him. As for the blood money (diyyah) the grandfather received for his murdered son, it is an inheritance for the deceased son and is distributed between the mother and the father. If the grandmother did not give her share to the father, then one-sixth of the blood money reverts to the grandmother’s estate. It is emphasized that matters of inheritance are serious and complex and should be brought before the Sharia courts for investigation before distribution.
