How is the inheritance of a man who died leaving a wife, three daughters, and full brothers and sisters distributed?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

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.
