What is the share of each heir from the inheritance in the case of there being a son, a father, four daughters, and a wife?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The father gets one-sixth, the wife gets one-eighth, and the remainder goes to the son and daughters, with the male receiving the share of two females. Thus, the inheritance is divided into 144 shares: the father gets 24 shares, the wife gets 18 shares, the son gets 34 shares, and each daughter gets 17 shares. Issues related to inheritances must be referred to the courts due to the existence of matters that may be hidden from the heirs, such as bequests and debts.
