What is the share of each heir from the aforementioned inheritance?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

If the heirs are limited to sons and daughters, the estate is divided among them by 'asabah (residuary heirship), with the male receiving the share of two females, in accordance with the verse: "Allah instructs you concerning your children: for the male, what is equal to the share of two females." The sons of the son do not inherit due to the presence of the son, who excludes them completely. Thus, the estate is divided into seven shares: two shares for each son and one share for each daughter. It is advisable to consult the Sharia courts regarding matters of inheritance, as there might be other heirs, wills, or debts that take precedence over the rights of the heirs.
