Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If the deceased leaves behind only a mother, sons, and daughters, then the mother receives one-sixth due to the presence of inheriting offspring. The remainder is divided among the sons and daughters by ta'sib, with the male receiving the share of two females. The inheritance is divided into 72 shares: the mother receives 12 shares, each son receives 10 shares, and each daughter receives 5 shares.
