Inheritance Distribution With A Promise To Pay In Future
This kind of agreements are made with mutual consent and have nothing to do with the law of inheritance specifically. Once inheritance is calculated, one can entirely for go their right in favor of others if they so wish (like in Mahar, Quran verse 4:4) or give others time to pay, in which case it’s like a loan. If one wants to set the future payout based on the price of gold or something else, there’s nothing morally objectionable in that either. The key thing is that justice should be withheld, which is a fundamental idea in the Quran when it comes to our dealings with others (Quran verses 16:90-91).
