Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

(Fatwa: 1010/1010/M=1433) You and your sisters became the owner of the money which your father gifted to you in his lifetime. Those rupees shall not be included in the inheritance of your father. However, the father should have given the rupees to other brothers as well and he should have gifted equally to all his children. However, apart from this amount, the other property and things left by your deceased father, shall be divided into 8 shares after due rights proceeding inheritance. Out of the 8 shares, your mother shall get eighth share i.e. 1 share, and 1-1 share will go to the three sisters and 2-2 shares shall go to each brother. The detail of the division is as follows: Details: Wife: 1x01 = 01 Sons: 2x02 = 04 Daughters: 3x01 = 03 Total: 8 shares
