How is the inheritance divided among: a wife, two daughters, two full brothers, and three full nephews?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If the deceased leaves behind only male descendants, then his wife receives one-eighth (a prescribed share) due to the presence of a lineal descendant, his two daughters receive two-thirds (a prescribed share), and the remainder goes to the full brothers (by residuary right). The sons of the full brother receive nothing, as they are completely excluded by the full brother. The estate is thus divided into 48 shares: 6 shares for the wife, 32 shares for the two daughters (16 for each), and 10 shares for the two full brothers (5 for each brother). Estates must be referred to courts to verify all wills, debts, and rights.
