How should the household items, e.g.

Answer

A fair value has to be given to each item. Then the total value should be divided into 20 shares as explained in the above answer. For example if the total value of the goods is R20,000, then the husband's share is R5,000 worth of goods. The share of the son will be R6,000 of goods, and each daughter's share will be R3,000.

They should mutually and with big heartedness select the items they prefer to the value of their shares. They should not squabble and conduct themselves spitefully and avariciously. However, should the heirs adamantly prefer to live like cats and dogs, refusing to give and take, then 20 lots of the goods should be made. Each parcel must me equal in value. Each parcel should be given a number. Then draw lots. This is the best solution for those who fail to understand that they are Muslim human beings.
