Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If the deceased left behind only a mother, a husband, a son, a daughter, a full brother, and a full sister, then:
- The mother receives one-sixth due to the presence of a lineal descendant.
- The husband receives one-fourth due to the presence of a lineal descendant.
- The son and daughter receive the remainder by ta’sib (residuary heirship), with the male receiving the share of two females.
- The full brother and full sister receive nothing, as they are completely excluded by the son.
The inheritance is divided into thirty-six shares.
