How is the estate of a man who died leaving behind a non-pregnant wife, four married daughters who have male children, four full sisters, in addition to the children of half-sisters who died before him, to be distributed?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The wife gets one-eighth (12 shares), the four daughters get two-thirds (64 shares), with 16 shares for each. The four full sisters get the remaining portion by ta’sib (20 shares), with 5 shares for each. The total number of shares for the inheritance is 96. It is emphasized that the division of inheritances is a serious matter, and the heirs must be accurately identified. It is safer to refer such matters to Sharia courts or consult with scholars knowledgeable in this area, due to the possible existence of bequests, debts, or other rights that take precedence over the rights of the heirs.
