The concept of joint family or of coparcenary property (as is recognized under Hindu law) is not known to Muslims. Whenever a Muslim dies, his properties devolve on his heirs in the definite share of which each heir becomes an absolute owner. Subsequently, upon the death of such heir, his properties are again inherited by his legal heirs, and this process continues. Thus, unlike Hindu law, there is no provision for any joint family or ancestral property. Accordingly, under Muslim law of inheritance, no distinction has been made between self-acquired and ancestral property. All properties whether acquired by a Muslim himself or inherited by his ancestors, are regarded as individual property and, may be inherited by his legal heirs as per Muslim law of inheritance.
