In the name of Allāh, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Assalāmu ῾alaykum wa Rahmatullāhi Wabarakātuh The entire Estate of the deceased (including the portion of the house, and the pension money) must be summed up, and divided into 252 equal shares and distributed amongst the heirs as follows; The husband will receive 63 shares Each daughter will receive 56 shares Each brother will receive 6 shares Each sister will receive 3 shares As for the house, whether the deceased will own half of the house or pro rata her payment to the Bank, it will depend on the agreement between the deceased and her husband. And Allāh Ta῾āla Knows Best
