How is the inheritance divided among: a wife, four daughters, a full brother, and a full sister?
If the deceased leaves behind only a wife, daughters, a full brother, and a full sister, then the wife receives one-eighth (due to the presence of a lineal descendant), the daughters receive two-thirds, and the remainder goes to the full brother and full sister by ta’sib (residuary heirship), with the male receiving the share of two females.
The inheritance is divided into 72 shares:
Wife: 9 shares (one-eighth). Daughters: 48 shares (two-thirds), 12 shares for each. Full brother: 10 shares. Full sister: 5 shares.
It is important to note that matters of inheritance are serious and must be referred to the courts for investigation and to ensure that there are no other heirs, wills, debts, or other rights taking precedence over the heirs' rights.
