How is an inheritance distributed among four daughters, a wife, a full sister, a paternal brother, and four sons of a paternal brother?
If the only heirs are those mentioned, the inheritance is divided as follows: The daughters receive two-thirds (as a prescribed share) due to their multiple number and the absence of an 'Asabah (agnatic heir). The wife receives one-eighth (as a prescribed share) due to the presence of a lineal descendant heir. The remainder is divided between the full brother and full sister from the father (by 'Asabah - residuary heirship). The sons of the brother receive nothing, as they are completely excluded by the presence of the full siblings.
The original base of the inheritance is 24, and it is corrected to 72. Accordingly, the daughters receive 48 shares (12 shares for each daughter), the wife receives 9 shares, the full brother from the father receives 10 shares, and the full sister from the father receives 5 shares.
