How is property divided amongst family members according to Islamic principles? My parents have passed away, leaving behind a house. We are five siblings – three brothers, including myself, and two married sisters. How can we fairly divide the house among ourselves?

According to Islamic inheritance laws (Shariah), a Muslim’s property is divided amongst legal heirs based on specific shares prescribed in the Quran. In your case, the house would be divided among you five siblings, taking into account the prescribed shares for sons and daughters, with the deceased parents’ share being divided accordingly. It is best to consult an Islamic scholar or legal expert to ensure a fair and accurate division based on your specific circumstances.
