How is the inheritance divided between: 2 paternal half-brothers, 3 daughters, 1 wife, and 2 full sisters?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If the deceased leaves behind only males (as descendants), the wife receives one-eighth due to the presence of a lineal descendant, and the daughters receive two-thirds. The remainder goes to the full sisters by way of ta'sib (residuary heirship), equally. The paternal brothers receive nothing, as they are excluded by the full sister. Thus, the inheritance is divided into 144 shares: the wife receives 18 shares, each daughter receives 32 shares, and each sister receives 15 shares. It is important to note the necessity of referring inheritance matters to the courts for investigation.
