Question
My husband and I have acquired all our assets on our own we never inherited anything. Now I need to consider my 3 children. 1) My one son is married. He owns a home. He has no kids. 2) My 1 daughter is divorced. Has 2 kids and is back home with me. She receives no financial assistance from her exhusband. 3) My other daughter is married, got her own home and has no kids. Can I leave 3 equal shares for them? Can I leave my house to my daughter with kids who is divorced and who lives with me?
Answer
The Laws of Inheritance have been promulgated by Allah Ta'ala and explicitly defined in the Qur'aan and Sunnah. You have no right to wrought any change in the Law of Allah Ta'ala. Your children will inherit in terms of Allah's Law of inheritance, not according to your desires. The son will receive twice the amount of the daughter. You may not bequeath the house to your daughter.
