Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If the deceased leaves behind only his daughter and his grandmother, then the daughter receives one-half as a prescribed share (fard), and the grandmother receives one-sixth as a prescribed share (fard). The remainder is returned to them (radd). The estate is divided into four shares: the daughter receives three shares, combining her prescribed share and the return, and the grandmother receives one share, combining her prescribed share and the return.
