The question

Is an paternal aunt entitled to claim a share of land that was divided 34 years ago, and does she covet what Allah has bestowed upon her brother, especially since the father used to pay its taxes and owned sales contracts for a part of his grandfather's house, knowing that the sons have already bought the share of one of their paternal aunts from those lands?

The answer

If the plot of land fell to the father's share when the inheritance was previously divided, then the paternal aunt has no right to claim it now, because it has become the property of the father. It is advisable to seek reconciliation between relatives to avoid dispute. Jurists have stated that it is commendable for the judge to urge litigants towards reconciliation, and it becomes obligatory if there is a fear of the problem escalating. If the father waives his right in favor of his sister to resolve issues, it is better, but it is not obligatory upon him Islamically.
