How is the inheritance divided among the deceased's heirs: a wife, two daughters, and two full sisters?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The deceased's wife receives one-eighth due to the existence of a inheriting offspring, and his two daughters receive two-thirds. The remainder goes to the two full sisters by virtue of agnation (ta'sib), equally. Thus, the inheritance is divided into forty-eight shares: the wife gets six shares, the two daughters get thirty-two shares (sixteen for each), and the two full sisters get ten shares (five for each).
