How is the inheritance of a man who died leaving two daughters, four full sisters, and two paternal cousins distributed?
The method of inheritance division cannot be explained until the heirs are definitively identified without ambiguity, and this can be done via the provided link. If it is assumed that the deceased left only two daughters, four full sisters, and two paternal male cousins, then the two daughters receive two-thirds as their prescribed share. The remainder goes to the full sisters by virtue of ta’sib (agnatic succession), equally among them. The two paternal male cousins are excluded. The inheritance is divided into twelve shares: eight for the two daughters (four for each daughter), and four for the full sisters (one share for each sister).
