Property division after parents death
04-Jun-2025 (In Property Law)
I am from muslim family and my parents expired how property will be divided between us legally ?we are 1 brother and two sisters
Under Muslim Personal Law (Shariat), property is distributed according to fixed shares among heirs. Since you are from a Muslim family, and your parents have passed away, the inheritance will be divided among the children (1 brother and 2 sisters) as follows:
Distribution as per Islamic Law:
The male (brother) gets twice the share of a female (sister).
So, the shares are:
Brother: 2 shares
Each Sister: 1 share
Total Shares = 2 (brother) + 1 (sister) + 1 (sister) = 4 shares
Division:
Brother gets 2/4 = 50%
Each sister gets 1/4 = 25%
Brother: 50% of the property
Each Sister: 25% of the property
For example:If a deceased father is survived by his wife, one son, and three daughters, the property distribution would be:Â
Wife: 1/8th.
Son: 2/3rd of the remaining property after the wife's share is taken out.
Daughters: 1/3rd of the remaining property, divided equally among the three daughters.
