A woman willingly giving up her share of the inheritance from her father to her siblings


362

Q 1: A man died and left behind four sons and two daughters. While the eldest brother was distributing the inheritance, one of his sisters gave away her share to her brothers and sisters. It is not well-known whether she did so out of embarrassment or that she really wanted to do it. What should we do? Should we accept her share or not? It is worth mentioning that her share of the inheritance is a piece of land on which figs or olive trees are being cultivated. Please advise us in this regard. May Allah reward you with good!


A: If it is well-known that the woman has give up her share in her father's inheritance to her brothers and sisters willingly, there is no harm in this. However, if she has not done so willingly, she should be given her share in the inheritance. May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
