Is it permissible to distribute the inheritance by mutual consent among the heirs, even if that leads to differences in the distribution values from the prescribed Islamic division, such as the female's share sometimes equaling that of the male?
There is no objection to the heirs dividing the inheritance among themselves in a way they mutually agree upon, even if it differs from the Sharia-compliant division, provided that anyone who suffers a significant injustice is an adult of sound mind. The consent of minors to less than their Sharia-mandated shares is not valid.
