The question

Are the funds a wife deposited into her husband's account, and the car she bought in his name with her own money, considered part of the inheritance or a debt? And does her right to the deferred dowry fall due to her not declaring her debt?

The answer

If the deceased's heirs are limited to those mentioned, the inheritance is divided as follows, after preparing the body, settling debts, and fulfilling bequests: the daughter receives half (12 shares), the wife receives one-eighth (3 shares), each parent receives one-sixth (4 shares for each), and the remaining (one share) goes to the father by virtue of ta'sib (residuary heirship), making his total share 5 out of 24 shares. As for the car and the money the wife deposited in her husband's account, they are her property if they were not a gift from her, and she must claim them and her deferred mahr if she has not waived it.
