According to the Maliki school of thought, how is the estate of a man who passed away leaving four daughters and one son, all full siblings, to be divided?
The estate of a deceased person who left behind only one son and four daughters is divided into six shares. The son receives two shares, and each daughter receives one share. This is based on Allah's saying: ﴿Allah instructs you concerning your children: for the male, what is equal to the share of two females﴾.
