The answer

If the mother helped build the house with her own money and did not intend it as a donation to her husband, then what she paid is originally her property and must be divided among her heirs according to the Sharia inheritance laws. The husband gets a quarter, and the son gets the remainder, unless there is another heir. It is advisable to refer inheritance matters to the Sharia courts for a precise investigation into the existence of heirs, wills, debts, or other rights that may take precedence over the heirs' rights.
