How is the inheritance divided among four daughters, one wife, one full sister, three full brothers, and eight paternal half-brothers?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If the deceased leaves behind only a wife, daughters, a full sister, and full brothers, then the wife receives one-eighth due to the existence of a inheriting offspring. The daughters receive two-thirds. The remainder goes to the full sister and full brothers by ta'sib, with the male receiving the share of two females. The paternal nephews receive nothing, as they are excluded by the full brother. The inheritance is divided into 168 shares: the wife receives 21 shares, the daughters receive 112 shares (28 shares for each one), each full brother receives 10 shares, and the full sister receives 5 shares.
