[Pay off father's debt and spending on his treatment]

Fatawa Question

As-Salamu `Alaykum. We are six brothers and four sisters. My father took some loan (gold) from my sister long back which he was supposed to pay back. Now, he is sick and undergoing treatment and wants to repay the loan as early as possible. All the sons are now earning and he is requesting his sons to payback this loan. Some of them agree and trying to settle the matter. But some argue that Islamic law of inheritance also makes daughters responsible for this. So they should take part in repaying the debts and also should spend in treatment of father. Please can you provide any guidelines ?
