How much is the share of each heir from an estate consisting of a wife, a full brother, and a maternal sister only, valued at three hundred thousand dinars? And does the Dar Al-Ifta provide an official document confirming the validity of the distribution to the heirs?
If a person passes away, leaving behind a wife, a full brother, and a maternal sister, and no other heirs, then the wife receives one-fourth as a prescribed share due to the absence of any lineal descendants. The maternal sister receives one-sixth as a prescribed share. The remaining portion goes to the full brother by way of ta'sib (residuary heirship).
Thus, the inheritance (300,000 dinars) is divided into twelve shares as follows: - The wife: three shares (75,000 dinars). - The maternal sister: two shares (50,000 dinars). - The full brother: seven shares (175,000 dinars).
It is advisable to refer the matter to the courts or consult scholars to verify all heirs, bequests, and debts before distributing the inheritance.
