My mother\u2019s house was on sale for R1 000 000. My mother sold her house to my sister for R700 000.00 at a discount of R300 000. Is it Islamically correct for my mother\u2019s will to reflect that my sister has received her discounted share of the sale of the house-R300 000 as inheritance and exclude my sister from inheriting \u201cagain\u201d from my mother\u2019s estate? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>A. <\/strong>A gift or sale of a deceased person concluded in his\/her lifetime does not affect the shares of inheritance of the deceased\u2019s heirs after his\/her demise. Hence, if your mother sold her house to your sister at a discounted price in her lifetime, your sister will still be entitled to her full share of inheritance after your mother\u2019s demise as a legal heir. Therefore, the discounted price of the sale of the house to your sister in your mother\u2019s lifetime cannot be deducted from your sister\u2019s share of inheritance.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Allah Ta\u2019ala Knows Best<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Mufti Ismaeel Bassa<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>themufti.com<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If the deceased sold a property at a discounted value to an heir during their lifetime, does the heir still inherit from the deceased&#8217;s estate?\u00a0 Q.<span class=\"excerpt-hellip\"> [\u2026]<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[67,63,61],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1746","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-laws-of-women","category-mirath","category-trade"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/themufti.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1746","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/themufti.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/themufti.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themufti.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themufti.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1746"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/themufti.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1746\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1747,"href":"https:\/\/themufti.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1746\/revisions\/1747"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/themufti.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1746"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themufti.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1746"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themufti.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1746"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
