- Q. I would appreciate an answer to the below question. This question is about the definition of will(wasiat) in the shareia. My brother died last year leaving behind a wife, a Son and adopted Daugther.Few clarifications before the question: 1.He did not have child from his first wife and they both adopted a girl as adopted child. This adopted child is a daughter of my other brother and she was 1-1/2 year old when adopted. 2.He had a 2nd marriage couple of years ago and from this 2nd wife ,Allah blessed him with a boy baby. 3.Before the birth of the Son, his first wife died. 4.He himself left for the next world when the Son was just two month old. 5.Our parents are alive and living with us 6.Adopted daughter is 11 years of age now It is clear from the Islamic law of inheritance that following are the heirs: 1.Wife 2.Son 3.His father 4.His Mother And it is also known that the adopted kid will not get any share from the things left by the brother. As brother was working in a company where every year one document is to be signed describing the persons who will be considered heirs to distribute the provident fund incase of employ's death. This document was signed after the death of his first wife and before the birth of the Son from the 2nd wife. He mentioned in the document that my provident fund is distributed to my wife and the adopted kid with out describing the proportion. Question: Can we consider this document as will (wasiah) and if this is wasiah, would the adopted kid have a portion and if yes. What should be this portion? Will this portion amount should be taken out from the total asset and rest is distributed to legal heirs? I would appreciate your valued inputs to this request.

- Q. The situation is: my grandfather gave my father agricultural land and village property.my father is the only son and has five sisters. The peoperty is 6 acres of land and a house. As per village traditions, my grand father did not give any share to his daughters. My grand father died in 2000 and my father becomes owner of property and he added 10 more acres to the property from his earnings. Property is now being transferred to me as sole male heir, i have two sisters as well. Now I don't want to do the same and infact I wish to reverse what my grand father and the my father has done. I wish to give my phuphoos (my father's sisters their share which should have been given by my grand father) and to my sisters as per shariah as I don't want to take this burdon to next world. 1.my mother is dead I have two sisters. 2.My father has five sisters out of which one has died. 3.my grand mother is alive but not in senses and bed ridden (very ill) My question is: 1.how can I rightfully do this? give my phuphoos (my father's sisters) and then remaining among myself and my sisters. 2.Am I obligated to correct my grandfather's wrong act of not giving share to daughters? 2.my grandfather died in 2000 so the price of land at that time will be used to do shares? Can we use price of property in year 2000 as that was the time for doing the sahres. I am planning to sell everything and then do the shares. Assume price of one acre as 1,000,000 in 2007 price of one acre in year 2000 was 500,000. grand father left 6 acres father added 10 more Thanks in advance for guidence.

- Q. A father during his lifetime gifted his daughter a house (which was
then legally transferred from his name) and also said and wrote that 30
thousand pounds of the value of another property, which he owned, is
now the property of the daughter. This gift was granted because of the
daughter?s khidmat of the father and his wife, due to which the
daughter never married and stayed single.
Now, in a twist of events the father and daughter once had an argument
and during the exchange the daughter said, ?I don?t need anything from
you, no house no money? referring to the gifts the father had granted
her.
Now the question is, by saying these words, does it have any effect of
her ownership of the house or the 30 thousand pound property value,
which she previously received from the father.
May Allah reward you.

- Q. We are two brothers. Both are servicemen. I am younger one and lives far away from home town. My brother is posted nearby home so he looks after all agricultuaral and residential land which is in the name of my father who lives with him in the village. With the consent of father my brother was paying me rent(lease) of one third agricultural land at his own rates since 1990 against my will as I wanted to share the agriculture or to get my share of land. But they always say that they can give me one third land with the condition that I would not give the land to another person on rent. Please tell me they are right or wrong.
