Question:
One person died and left 40 thousand Canadian dollars and one house in India (worth 2 million rupees). This house is built on shared land i.e. his wife owns 1/3 of the land and he owned the rest. His share of the land is valued at 20 thousand US dollars. He had purchased the two remaining parts from his wifeโs sisters for 20 thousand US dollars and then made the house with his own money. That is why one share of the land remains as the wifeโs share. He has left behind his wife, 4 daughters, 2 sisters, mother, and father. Please let us know how to distribute his wealth.
Answer:
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salฤmu สฟalaykum wa-rahmatullฤhi wa-barakฤtuh.
Regarding your question, after the payment of any debt, the burial needs and distribution of will (if any) in 1/3 of the deceasedโs wealth, his remaining wealth should be divided into Twenty-Seven (27) portions [1] and distributed as follows:
| ย | Portions
(total:27) |
Cash
(CAD 40,000) |
House
(INR 2,000,000) |
Land Value
(USD 20,000) |
| Father | 4 | CAD 5,925.93 | INR 296,296.30 | USD 2,962.96 |
| Mother | 4 | CAD 5,925.93 | INR 296,296.30 | USD 2,962.96 |
| Wife | 3 | CAD 4,444.44 | INR 222,222.22 | USD 2,222.22 |
| 4 Daughters | 16
(4 each) |
CAD 23,703.70
(CAD 5925.93 each) |
INR 1,185,185.19
(INR 296,296.30 each) |
USD 11,851.85
(USD 2962.96 each) |
| 2 Sisters | Nothing | |||
In this situation it is best to take the value of each property and then separate the wifeโs and husbandโs wealth. The house that was built on the shared land should be valued separately from the land. The deceasedโs wealth you have mentioned is in dollars and rupees, so they can be converted into one type of currency or distributed separately.
And Allah Taโฤla Knows Best
