Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The wife receives one-eighth due to the presence of daughters. The two daughters receive two-thirds. The remaining inheritance goes to the full sisters, based on Allah's saying: "But if there are [only] daughters, two or more, for them is two thirds of what he left," and His saying: "But if you have a child, then for them [the wives] is one eighth of what you leave." The inheritance is divided into twenty-four shares: three for the wife, sixteen for the two daughters, and five shares for the full sisters.
