As per my knowledge and information,
Property rights of a daughter in Islam Under the Muslim law The share of the male is double that of the female that is A daughter gets half of whatever share her brother gets. In case she has no brother, she is entitled to a share of half the property. It is legally hers to manage, control, and to dispose it off as and when she wants.She is also eligible to receive gifts from those she would inherit from. This is contradictory because she can inherit only one-third of the man's share but can get gifts without any hassle. Till a daughter is not married, she enjoys the right to stay in her parents' house.

About the wasiyat (will) under Islamic law, A Muslim cannot give away more than one third of his/her total property through a will. In circumstances where there are no heirs in the estate as prescribed by the law, the wife may inherit a greater amount by will.
