What is the share of each paternal aunt from the inheritance of the house that was sold in 2006, when they relinquished their share at that time?
If the heirs are limited to two sons and two daughters, the inheritance is divided among them such that the male receives the share of two females, in accordance with the noble verse: "Allah instructs you concerning your children: for the male, what is equal to the share of two females." Thus, the inheritance is divided into six shares: two shares for each son and one share for each daughter.
It is necessary to refer to the courts or their representatives to rule on matters of inheritance. Regarding financial rights, they must be settled with their equivalent, not their value, and it is not permissible to link them to price levels, unless the currency's value has significantly and unjustly depreciated. In such a case, there is a difference of opinion among scholars.
