Respected Mr. Mufti Sahib! Madrasa Jamia Binoria Karachi, Assalamu Alaikum Warahmatullahi Wa Barakatuhu
I hope you are well, a fatwa is required for the distribution of inheritance of a property, please give me an opportunity to thank you by guiding me through a fatwa, and the problem is that my respected father has a property, on which we 3 brothers and 2 sisters and my mother have an inheritance share. One brother passed away after the deceased father. The brother who passed away had two marriages, out of which the first wife is divorced, a year ago, from which there are three sons and three daughters, while there are no children from the second wife (widow).
Please give me an opportunity to thank you by explaining the procedure for the distribution of inheritance according to the order of Shariah.
