Distributing the inheritance evenly between men and women with the heirs' permission


327

Q: The heirs are two men and a full sister. May we divide the estate among us on an equal basis especially if it is the desire of the deceased and that this will take place with our consent?


A: If the reality is as you have mentioned, after paying off the deceased's debts and executing his will if there are any, the remainder may be yours, the male receiving a share equal to that of two females. However, it is permissible for a mature heir of full age to give up his or her share to another heir. May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
