Answer
(Fatwa: 746/514/L=1432)
As per the question mentioned above, if you (three persons) are legal heirs of your parents and at the time of your parents’ death none of their parents were alive, then the entire property of the deceased parents will be divided into four shares; out of which you will receive two shares and your two sisters will receive one-one shares. For example, your parents left 100 rupees, then you will get 50 and your sisters will get 25-25 rupees.
(2) The agricultural property will also be divided in four shares out of which you will get two shares and each sister will get 1-1 share.
