A left behind two sons, one of whom was a firstborn, and three daughters. In his will, he stipulated that the sum he had invested in his jointly operated business with B and C should not be touched as long as any of his daughters remained unmarried. The sons were only allowed to use the profit. However, if all daughters were provided for, then the two sons could also share the business investment. In this case, the firstborn should receive twice the share. B and C then separated, and A's sons took their money and continued the business on their own. When they wanted to distribute the profit, the firstborn claimed the double share of profit corresponding to his share of the capital. His brother disputed this claim. Moses ben Samuel Israel rules in favor of the younger brother. This query is similar to query No. 248, which was decided by Chija Cahen de Lara in his time; contrast with No. 272.
