How is the inheritance divided between a mother, three full brothers, a maternal half-brother, and a full sister?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If the heirs are limited to those mentioned, then the mother receives one-sixth (1/6), the maternal brother receives one-sixth (1/6), and the remainder goes to the full siblings by ta'sib, with the male receiving the share of two females. The inheritance is divided into 42 shares: the mother receives 7 shares, the maternal brother receives 7 shares, each full brother receives 8 shares, and each full sister receives 4 shares. Inheritance matters should be referred to the courts for investigation and to ensure there are no wills, debts, or other rights taking precedence over the heirs' rights.
