Answer:
(Fatwa: 1802/1433/B=1431)
Yes, it is necessary to divide the property among the heirs immediately after the death of parents. It is not lawful to postpone it. There are too many problems and complications in postponing it. You should necessarily give the share to the sisters. You must convince them and give them their due rights. It is Hindu custom that brothers do not give the sisters their share or the sisters do not accept it. Whatever shares and rights one has, he or she should receive it.
