Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If the deceased leaves behind only a wife, sons, daughters, and a full sister, then the wife receives one-eighth due to the presence of a lineal descendant (heir). The remaining inheritance is for the sons and daughters by ta'sib (agnatic inheritance), with the male receiving the share of two females. The full sister receives nothing because she does not inherit in the presence of a son.
The inheritance is divided into 120 shares: the wife receives 15 shares, each son receives 14 shares, and each daughter receives 7 shares.
