How is the estate of a deceased man who left behind a wife, a daughter, two full brothers, and two full sisters divided?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The wife receives one-eighth if the deceased has children, and his daughter receives one-half. The remainder is divided among his brothers and sisters, with the male receiving the share of two females. Estate matters must be referred to the courts due to the presence of heirs, wills, or debts that the heirs may not be aware of, and these take precedence over the rights of the heirs.
