Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

(Fatwa: 514/528/L=5/1438)

In the question mentioned above, the plot and other things which your father left shall be inherited by all his legal heirs. It is not lawful for you to keep all the amount with you. The property of your father shall be divided in such a way that first of all his debt will be paid from his property after that all the rest property shall be divided into forty shares. Out of the total, your mother shall get 5 shares, 14 shares shall go to you while each sister shall get 7-7 shares. The Shariah division of the property is as follows:

Details:

Wife:                1x05 = 05

Son:                  1x14 = 14

Daughters:        3x07 = 21

Total:                           40 Shares

It should be noted that if you have taken loan then you are responsible for it. It shall not be paid from the inheritance. Likewise, if any other expense is to be paid which benefits all the heirs then this may be fulfilled by the common money with the mutual agreement of all the heirs. The expenses of an individual shall necessarily be paid with his personal money.
