How is the inheritance divided among: three sons, three full brothers, a full paternal uncle, a wife, and a full sister?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If the heirs are limited to those mentioned, the wife receives one-eighth due to the existence of a inheriting offspring, as Allah Almighty says: "But if you have a child, then for them is one eighth of what you leave, after any bequest you [may] make or debt." The remainder goes to the sons by way of ta’sib (residuary heirship). The inheritance is to be divided into twenty-four shares: three shares for the wife, and seven shares for each son. The remaining relatives do not inherit due to the presence of sons. It is advisable to divide the inheritance by consulting the courts.
