We have sold our father’s old property at Rs 35 lakh. Please inform how to distribute to legal heirs as per Islamic Law and mention amount and percentage of each heir:

Answer

(Fatwa: 698/683/N=1433)

The value of all the property (sold or left i.e. 35 lakh) of your deceased father shall be divided among his legal heirs in the following way. Your mother shall get Rs. 437500/- (four lakh, thirty seven thousand and five hundred rupees only), you and each of your brother shall get Rs 612500/- (six lakh twelve thousand and five hundred rupees only) and each of your sister shall get Rs. 306250/- (three lakh six thousand and two hundred and fifty rupees only) i.e. the whole value shall be divided into 80 shares. Out of which 10 shares shall go to your mother, 14-14 shares to each brother, 7-7 shares to each sister. The detail of division is as follows:

Details:

Wife: 1×10 = 10 437500.00 x1 = 437500.00
Sons: 3×14 = 42 612500.00 x3 = 1837500.00
Daughters: 4×07 = 28 306250.00 x4 = 1225000.00

Total: 80 shares
