Is it permissible for an aunt to exclusively take possession of her mother's gold jewelry without dividing it with her siblings?
The aforementioned gold is part of the grandmother's estate and is to be divided among her legal heirs. It is not permissible for the paternal aunt to seize it without the consent of the other heirs, based on the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: "Every Muslim's blood, wealth, and honor are sacred to another Muslim."
