i need advice to handle a situation. the problem is that my sister married a christian who converted to Muslim to marry her.my sister died of stomach cancer a little while ago.her marriage lasted around 10 years. i used to live with her in UAE. Before she died she made a will (me and her husband as a witness) to distribute her jewelry among her husband and her family.
The following problems to be considered
before she died he converted back to christian which makes their marriage annulled
he calls me and says that before she died she told him that all the gold belongs to him
my mother says that it does not belong to him as he did not contribute a single penny any of the marriage jewelry (shaadi and walima wedding jewelry sets where bought by my mother)
my brother in law borrowed 40,000 dirhams from me (which after this i dont think i will be getting back)
i asked the scholar and he says that since he is was no a muslim and lied to her for 10 years it does not belong to him

at the moment all of her jewelry is with me. and since i used to live with them but she has died i don’t know what to do .

how do i tell him (should i) that i have to give it to my mother?
i mean its their house and even it i do have the jewelry how should i do what my sister wanted?
rite now i am in Pakistan but i haven’t told my mom or him anything cuz if i tell my mom she will take it all. i want to do what is rite

If by doing the right thing, you mean what is right according to Islam, then the first thing to look at is whether or not your sister was in debt. If she was, the estate should first be used to clear that up. You’ll have to check with a scholar, but I believe burial expenses come next. Now what is left from that, a maximum of 1/3 can be willed. And heirs cannot be included in the will as they already have assigned portions of the estate.
