What are the shares of male and female heirs in a farming land that is Amīrī (Waqf) and has a well, left by the deceased father?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
What the deceased leaves behind of fixed and movable assets is divided among their heirs according to Islamic law, and the general rule is that the male receives the equivalent of the share of two females. There is no difference between Amiri lands and others. It must be noted that the matter of inheritances is serious and complex, and a mere is not sufficient; rather, it must be referred to the courts for investigation, as there may be wills, debts, or other rights that take precedence over the rights of the heirs.
