The main principles of Islamic inheritance law which mark an advance vis-Ã -vis the pre-Islamic law of inheritance, which have significant bearing on the property rights of women, are: (i) the husband or wife
was made an heir (ii) females and cognates were made competent to inherit (iii) parents and
ascendants were given the right to inherit even when there were male descendants and (iv) as a
general rule, a female was given one half the share of a male.
The newly created heirs were mostly females; but where a female is equal to the customary heir in
proximity to the deceased, the Islamic law gives her half the share of a male. For example, if a
daughter co-exists with the son, or a sister with a brother, the female gets one share and the male two
shares.

Though you have not provided the complete details of the property and the legal heirs of the deceased even then the general law told to you by Bhadra is somehow correc.
