How is an inheritance of 100 dirhams divided among three daughters, two parents, and a wife?
If a person dies leaving behind three daughters, his parents, and a wife, the inheritance (100 dirhams) is divided as follows:
Wife: One-eighth (12.5 dirhams) due to the presence of children, as Allah Almighty says: (But if you have children, then for them [the wives] is one-eighth of what you leave). Father: One-sixth (16.67 dirhams) due to the presence of children, as Allah Almighty says: (And for his parents, for each of them is one-sixth of what he leaves if he has a child). Mother: One-sixth (16.67 dirhams) due to the presence of children, as Allah Almighty says: (And for his parents, for each of them is one-sixth of what he leaves if he has a child). Daughters: Two-thirds (66.67 dirhams) as Allah Almighty says: (But if there are [only] daughters, two or more, for them is two-thirds of what he leaves).
The calculation is corrected to 81 to ensure proper distribution of shares: Wife's share: 11.1 dirhams. Father's share: 14.8 dirhams. Mother's share: 14.8 dirhams. Each daughter's share: 19.7 dirhams.
