Sisters giving up their shares of the inheritance


411

Q 3: My sisters refuse to take their shares of inheritance in my father's land, saying that they are honestly willing to give them to me. However, I am afraid that I might be sinful because of this in spite of their willingness. What should I do? They insist on not taking their shares in the land; or even the value of their shares.


A: If they are perfectly willing to waive their shares and refuse to take them, (Part No. 16; Page No. 487) there is no sin against you and it is your right to take them; otherwise it is not permissible. May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
