The answer

If the apartment is owned by the husband, it is divided among his heirs according to Islamic law. If it is owned by his father, the wife and daughter have no right to it. If the furniture is part of the Mahr (dowry), it belongs to the wife. The financial support and accommodation of the daughter are incumbent upon her paternal grandfather if she and her mother do not have sufficient means. The grandfather is also obligated to provide accommodation for the custodian (the mother) along with the daughter.
