How is inheritance divided among three sons, a mother, two daughters, a wife, and a full sister of the deceased?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If the deceased left only those mentioned, then the mother of the deceased gets one-sixth (due to the presence of a descendant heir), and his wife gets one-eighth (due to the presence of a descendant heir). The remainder goes to the three sons and two daughters by ta'sib (residuary heirship), with the male receiving the share of two females. The full sister gets nothing, as she is completely excluded from inheritance by the son.
The inheritance is divided into 192 shares: the mother receives 32 shares, the wife receives 24 shares, each son receives 34 shares, and each daughter receives 17 shares.
