How is rental income divided among the deceased's mother and his heirs (7 full brothers, 3 of whom are minors and one deceased; 4 full sisters; and 1 paternal half-sister)? How are the expenses for the minors and the mother calculated? And is a salary allocated for the trustee?
If the rental income is from properties rented out after the deceased's passing, it is attached to the original property and is taken by whoever acquired the original property. If the rental income was left by the deceased and existed during their lifetime, it is distributed among the heirs according to each one's share.
The inheritance (properties and rents) is distributed as follows: - The wife receives one-eighth as a prescribed share. - The remainder goes to the children by way of ta'sib (residuary heirship), with the male receiving the share of two females.
The issue is rectified from 152 shares: the wife receives 19 shares, each son 14 shares, and each daughter 7 shares.
As for the share of the brother who passed away after his father, it is distributed among his mother, full brothers, and full sisters, but not his half-sister (from the father's side, as she is excluded by the full siblings).
The other issue is divided as follows: - His mother receives one-sixth. - The remainder goes to his full brothers and full sisters by way of ta'sib, with the male receiving the share of two females.
The issue is rectified from 96 shares: the mother receives 16 shares, each brother 10 shares, and each sister 5 shares.
As for the expenses of the minors and the mother, they are taken from their share of the inheritance. Those responsible for their affairs must fear Allah concerning them, with the permissibility for the poor to consume what is reasonable, the wealthy to refrain, and the possibility for the one in charge of their affairs to receive a fair wage if they dedicate themselves to it.
