What is the share of each heir from the deceased's inheritance if he left behind: two wives, a full sister, a half-sister through the father, and three full brother's sons?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If the heirs are limited to two wives, a full sister, a half-sister (from the father's side), and sons of a full brother, the inheritance is divided as follows: The two wives receive one-fourth due to the absence of descendants. The full sister receives one-half because she is alone and there is no one to make her an 'asaba (agnate heir). The half-sister (from the father's side) receives one-sixth as a complement to the two-thirds share. The remainder goes to the sons of the full brother by 'asaba (agnatic inheritance). The origin of the inheritance is twelve, and it can be corrected to seventy-two shares.
