Answer By law4u team

In India, the process for distribution of property under Muslim law involves the following steps: Compilation of inventory: After the death of the deceased, the heirs should compile an inventory of all the assets and liabilities of the deceased. Payment of funeral expenses and debts: Before distribution of the estate, the funeral expenses and any outstanding debts of the deceased should be paid from the estate. Distribution of shares: The distribution of the estate among the heirs should be done as per the Quranic shares or the Faraidh. Each heir is entitled to receive their share of the estate, which is calculated based on their relationship to the deceased and the number of heirs. Transfer of ownership: After the shares have been determined, the ownership of the property should be transferred to the respective heirs. This can be done through a transfer deed or a gift deed, as per the applicable laws. It is important to note that the process for distribution of property under Muslim law can vary depending on the specific circumstances of the case, such as the size of the estate, the number of heirs, and the presence of a will. It is advisable to consult with a qualified Islamic scholar or lawyer for specific advice on distribution of property under Muslim law.
