How is the legal inheritance divided for a young man who died and left behind a mother, two brothers, and two sisters?
To determine how an inheritance should be divided, it is necessary to identify the relationship of the deceased's brothers and sisters (full, paternal, maternal, or a mix) and to clearly enumerate the heirs. This can be done via the dedicated link for that purpose. If we assume the heirs are the mother, two full brothers, and two full sisters, then the mother receives one-sixth due to the presence of siblings. The remaining inheritance is for the full siblings by ta'sib (agnatic inheritance), with the male receiving the share of two females. The inheritance is divided into 36 shares: the mother receives 6 shares, each full brother receives 10 shares, and each full sister receives 5 shares.
