How is the inheritance of a man who died leaving a wife, three daughters, and full brothers and sisters distributed?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If a man passes away and leaves behind:
- A wife: She receives one-eighth, due to the presence of a lineal descendant.
- Three daughters: They receive two-thirds.
- Full or paternal siblings (brothers and sisters): They receive the remainder of the inheritance, with the male receiving the share of two females.
This is assuming there are no other heirs such as a father, mother, grandfather, or a male child.
