· 4 Jumada I 1438 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

If the father has not given the property to his children and his daughter said that she will give her share to her brothers, then before getting the property she changed that she will not give her share to her brothers. Then, she further changed that she will decide to give or not the property according to the situation when she will get her share. When she will get her share what should she do? Is it compulsory for her to give her share to her brothers or not? She changed her decision before becoming the owner of property. Guide me according to fiqh-e-Hanafi.

Answer

It is not binding on her.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
