Who inherits a deceased woman who left behind two sons, three daughters, a husband, a father, and a mother, and what is the share of each?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Her husband receives one-fourth due to the existence of a lineal descendant. Her parents each receive one-sixth due to the existence of a lineal descendant. The remainder goes to the sons and daughters by ta'sib (agnatic inheritance), with the male receiving the share of two females. The inheritance is divided into eighty-four shares: the husband receives twenty-one shares, the father fourteen shares, the mother fourteen shares, each son ten shares, and each daughter five shares. The matter of inheritances must be referred to the شرعية (Sharia) courts, as there are other related matters such as bequests, debts, and rights, in order to achieve the interests of both the living and the deceased.
