What is the share of each heir (a wife, five sons, and five daughters) from an amount of 550,000 Saudi Riyals?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The deceased's wife receives one-eighth (1/8) as a mandatory share due to the existence of a lineal descendant. The remainder goes to the sons and daughters by ta'sib (residuary inheritance), with the male receiving the share of two females. The estate is divided into 120 shares: the wife receives 15 shares, each son receives 14 shares, and each daughter receives 7 shares. Inheritance matters must be referred to the courts for investigation, as there may be wills or debts unknown to the heirs, which take precedence over the heirs' rights.
