How is an inheritance divided between: a wife, three daughters, the sons of a maternal aunt, and the son of a paternal uncle's daughter?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The children of the maternal aunt and the son of the paternal uncle's daughter are not heirs. If the deceased leaves behind only a wife and daughters, then the wife receives one-eighth due to the presence of a lineal descendant, and the daughters receive two-thirds. The remainder is returned to them. The inheritance is divided into 24 shares: 3 for the wife and 21 for the daughters. Inheritance matters must be brought before the courts for investigation, as there may be another heir, or wills, debts, or other rights that take precedence over the rights of the heirs.
