Do the daughters of a deceased person, who died during their father's lifetime, have a share in his house and private salary?
Daughters are among the inheritors who receive fixed shares. Their share is two-thirds if there is no brother to make them residuary heirs, based on the verse: ﴿But if there are [only] daughters, two or more, for them is two thirds of what he left.﴾.
If there is a wife, she receives one-eighth due to the presence of a lineal descendant heir. As for the father and mother, each receives one-sixth due to the presence of a child, based on the verse: ﴿And for his parents, each of them gets one sixth of what he left if he has a child.﴾.
If the father is alone without the mother, he receives all that remains after the daughters and the wife.
The matter of inheritances is critical and complex, and merely issuing a is not sufficient. Rather, it must be referred to the courts for investigation and to ascertain the heirs, wills, debts, and other rights that take precedence over the heirs' rights.
