How is inheritance divided among a mother, two sons, and a daughter?
If the deceased's heirs are only his children and his mother, then the mother receives one-sixth as a prescribed share, and the remainder goes to the children, with the male receiving the share of two females. The inheritance is divided into six shares: one share for the mother, two shares for each male, and one share for each female. We caution that matters of inheritance are serious and complex, and a mere fatwa is insufficient. Rather, it must be referred to the Sharia courts for investigation and consideration of wills, debts, and other rights that take precedence over the rights of the heirs.
