Gift And Inheritance
Just wantef to clarify the following: the. House was gifted by my uncle to his son and wife and daughters were not included in the gift of the house: The original question is clarified as follows: One of my relatives, who is MashaAllah still alive, has some property, which includes a couple of open plots of land, some cash investments, and a house (which is the most valuable). He gifted ( transferred the title of the house) m to his wife and only son), jointly in the proportion of 50 percent each.My relative also has two married daughters. He did not include both his daughters in the gift of the house. He had earlier also gifted some vacant plots to his children without determining the value of the respective properties, meaning these were not necessarily equivalent in value. Kindly guide regarding the Islamic injunctions on inheritance, including the share of his daughters in the gifted house to ensure equity
My understanding is that in Surah Baqarah, the limit of gift is limited to 1/3 of the value of the estate and that too to entities other than legal heirs? The legal heirs are to share in proportion to that prescribed in Shariah. Accordingly, Is gifting house which is valued in excess of 3/4 of the estate to the son, to the exclusion of both daughters , as per Islamic injunctions?
