How is inheritance divided among two brothers from the father's side and two sisters from the father's side?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If a person dies leaving behind two brothers and two sisters from the father's side only, then the inheritance is distributed among them by ta'sib (agnatic inheritance), with the male receiving the share of two females. The inheritance is divided into six shares, with each brother receiving two shares and each sister receiving one share. The matter of inheritances must be referred to the courts for investigation and to ensure there are no other heirs, wills, or debts.
