Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If the deceased leaves no heirs other than their sons and daughters, their estate is to be divided among them by way of ta'sib (agnatic inheritance), with the male receiving the equivalent of the share of two females, in accordance with the Almighty's saying: "Allah instructs you concerning your children: for the male, what is equal to the share of two females." In this case, the inheritance is divided into thirteen shares, with the son receiving two shares and the daughter one share.
