Fatwa clarifies heirs to a mother's inheritance
The Egyptian Dar Al-Ifta has confirmed that the gold of a deceased mother is considered part of her estate and is to be divided among all her legal heirs. It is not exclusively entitled to the daughters alone. Gold, like other assets, is subject to inheritance laws, and each heir's share varies according to their legal status and family circumstances, so it cannot be considered solely the property of the daughters. Additionally, heirs can agree among themselves on how to distribute the gold or pay a monetary value in exchange for some heirs relinquishing their shares. There is an exception if the mother made a bequest involving the gold; in this case, the will is executed according to Islamic law, with the understanding that the bequest is valid and executed within one-third of the estate. In summary, the division of gold follows Islamic inheritance laws and cannot be regarded as the exclusive property of any specific group of heirs solely because they are daughters.
