Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If the deceased left behind only his paternal grandmother, his wife, two sons, one daughter, and four maternal siblings, then the paternal grandmother receives one-sixth, and his wife receives one-eighth due to the presence of inheriting offspring. The remainder goes to the two sons and the daughter by ta’sib (agnatic inheritance), with the male receiving the share of two females. The four maternal siblings receive nothing because they are excluded by the inheriting offspring. Thus, the inheritance is divided into one hundred and twenty shares.
