Question

My grandfather left a property

He had 2 sons and 4 daughters. All are late.

But the property was put only on the 2 sons’ names. My father and my uncle’s name.

Do we need to distribute the sale of the property to the heirs of the 2 sons only because the property is in their name or does it have to go to the heirs of the 2 sons and 4 daughters.

Clarification:

Everyone in the family knows that my grandfather never allowed anyone to make decisions and he was incharge of the property.

Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-Salāmu ‘Alaykum Wa-Rahmatullāhi Wa-Barakātuh.

There appears to be a dispute in this matter, and the details provided in the question are limited. Therefore, we advise you to consult a reputable scholar or mufti who is respected by both parties, so that he may mediate the issue and provide appropriate guidance.

And Allah Ta’ala Knows Best.
