Message: [QUOTE="Nehanda, post: 24989, member: 2262"] Muslim Leader Warns Against Family Inheritance Disputes. Uganda's Muslim leader, Prince Kassim Nakibinge, urged families to avoid fighting over inheritances, saying these conflicts harm efforts to preserve wealth left by the deceased. Speaking at a prayer service for Hajj Ibrahim Sseguya, the former chairman of Kibuli Muslim Hospital, Nakibinge encouraged the late chairman's children to build their financial stability rather than depend on inherited assets. "Fighting over a deceased person's wealth lacks meaning. Those who engage in these disputes cannot protect or expand the estate left behind. Your father worked hard to raise you and provided opportunities. There exists no reason to fight over his wealth," Nakibinge said. The prince's comments addressed a growing trend of bitter legal and personal battles among heirs when substantial property remains after death. He stressed these conflicts diminish both family dignity and the deceased's legacy. Dr. Twaha Kaawaase, First Deputy Katikkiro, added that families need patience when choosing successors to deceased leaders. "Families and communities should take their time after losing a key figure. Selecting a leader who truly deserves the position matters more than making hasty decisions that lead to mistakes," Kaawaase said. Hajj Ibrahim Sseguya was a successful businessman and member of the Buganda Kingdom before his death. His passing created notable gaps in his family and the institutions he led. Both Nakibinge and Kaawaase called on Sseguya's family and community to honor his memory through unity and shared work toward future progress. They emphasized managing and growing inherited assets instead of selling them off. [/QUOTE]
