What is the ruling of Islamic law regarding the entitlement of family members (mother, brothers, and sisters) to a plot of land for which a title deed was obtained after construction on it, and should the square meter be valued at the 2000 CE price or the current price?

If the plot of land is owned by the municipality and you obtained a title deed for it alone in exchange for a sum of money and effort, then there is no need for you to fear your family members. However, if the contract is for you and the rest of the family, then they have a right to it, and it is not permissible for you to exclusively exploit it. The matter requires a ruling from the court to resolve it, and reconciliation among relatives is preferable to avoid discord.
