My father purchased a house in my mother’s name 25 years ago where we are living in.We are 7 brothers(including me) & 2 sisters who are already married.Being an eldest brother I spent my own earnings on my brothers & sisters studies & even I contributed in the construction(extension) of the same house.My immediate younger brothers & me spent money on our 2 sisters’ marriages(hefty sum).My questions are A).will my sisters get share in the house property? B).How will be the property distribution? My parents are alive alhamdulillah.
Answer
(Fatwa: 1542/1233/L=1430)
What you and your brother spent in the marriage of the two sisters it is voluntary contribution from you. Allah shall give you good reward! But, your sisters will not be deprived of inheritance; rather they will have their shares.
(2) The wealth and property will be distributed after the death of father. But, it is better to enquire about the matter at the same time writing all the details about the heirs.
