Inheritance and gift from persons dealing with Riba : Inheritance with interest

السؤال

AL Salaam Alaykum Dr. Kahf Alhamdulillah that Allah (swt) blessed you with such vital knowledge and guided you to help Muslims everywhere. Dr. Kahf, I'd like to ask you two questions if I may. 1. My father passed away 5 months ago, may Allah have mercy on him. After he died the family found a note saying that he left 3 million riyals in a bank account for this purpose : one million each for the marriage of one brother and one sister and the third million to be spent on the home according to the children, although my mother told me he told her it is for her. In few years that money earned interest in the bank and grew to 5.3 million. a) The children said that the interest is NOT RIBA so they went ahead and divided the money. b) A long time ago I had written a formal letter witnessed and signed by two of my uncles giving up my inheritance share to my mother and my blind sister. c) So the brother and sister each took their one million (dad said for marriage) and the 3.3 million left they divided it as such each of the two brothers received 600,000 each (one of them who got the million also ended up with 1.6 million riyals) each of the 3 sisters got 300,000, with one sister who gets the million ending up with 1.3 million ; the blind sister got 600,000 because she got half of my 600,000 share, and one sister got 300,000. My mother got 300,000 plus the 300,000 of half my share. Dr. Kahf, is this considered a proper division given that 3.3 million is to my mind RIBA, but they say no, and can they divide my share although my surrendering of my inheritance to my understanding should be implemented after my death, and is my mother entitled to the share of 300,000 they gave her. Ali
