How is the inheritance divided among the mother, the wife, the full sister, the full paternal uncle, and the half paternal uncle from the father's side?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If the deceased left no heirs other than those mentioned, the wife receives one-fourth (3 shares), the full sister receives one-half (6 shares), and the mother receives one-third (4 shares). This case will be subject to the doctrine of awl (proportional reduction) and will become out of thirteen shares. The full paternal uncle receives nothing because he is an asib (residuary heir) and the prescribed shares have exhausted the inheritance. The paternal uncle from the father's side does not inherit when there is a full paternal uncle.
