The answer

If you are asking about the permissibility of the court taking a fee in exchange for dividing an inheritance, the basic principle is that a judge who receives a salary from the public treasury (Bayt al-Mal) is not permitted to take a fee for his judgments. This is because the judiciary is compensated from the public treasury, and it is not permissible to take a fee for it. Anyone who is sufficiently provided for from the public treasury of the Muslims is not allowed to take a fee from the litigants.
