Should a wife protest if her husband insists on dividing his inherited property equally between siblings?

The wife should inform her husband of the Islamic rulings on inheritance, then leave the decision and its accountability to him. inheritance, property, siblings, accountability, advice, obligation https://www.youtube.com/shorts/lxetQljUpBY
So we know that inheritance is a sensitive issue. Why? Because we know that money and wealth and things that we have in this dunya Allah has said are things that are beloved innately to us as humans. It's something that is part of the way Allah has made us. So that's why it's part of the test to see whether we are going to follow what Allah wants us to do despite what we may want to do and what Allah has ordained for us will always be the best for us in this life and the next. Now, in this particular situation, what I would say is just convey to him that look, you know, there are certain ways Islamically that once you do it, just so that he's aware, maybe he's not aware, maybe he is aware, but at least you've done your part and then the rest is in his decision. It's in his hands as to how he wants to do it and Allah will take him to account for his actions as Allah takes us all to account for our actions. But the key point is we do our best. Even at the time of the Prophet ﷺ, you know, he wasn't able to make everybody from the Quraish Muslim, but he did his best. and the rest we leave in the hands of Allah.
