Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If the deceased leaves behind only a wife, two sons, and two daughters, then the wife receives one-eighth due to the existence of a inheriting offspring. The remainder goes to the two sons and two daughters by way of ta'sib (agnatic inheritance), with the male receiving the share of two females. The other mentioned heirs receive nothing, as they are excluded by the son through a complete exclusionary حجْب حرمان.
The inheritance is divided into 48 shares: the wife receives 6 shares, each son receives 14 shares, and each daughter receives 7 shares.
