The answer

on an inheritance is not obligatory if it does not exceed the heirs' dwelling. Therefore, there is no zakat on the mother or her siblings regarding the house. Similarly, there is no zakat on the children or sisters regarding the mother's share of the house, unless each of them receives the value of their share, which reaches the , and a hawl (full lunar year) passes from the date of its receipt. The same applies to other possessions whose intrinsic value is not subject to zakat.

And Allah knows best.
