How is the inheritance divided among: a mother, a wife, two daughters, a full sister, a maternal half-brother, and three full paternal cousins?
If the deceased's heirs are limited to those mentioned, their estate is divided as follows: The mother receives one-sixth due to the presence of a lineal descendant and a number of siblings. The two daughters receive two-thirds because they are multiple and there is no male correlative (mu'assib). The wife receives one-eighth due to the presence of a lineal descendant. The full sister receives the remainder by ta'sib (as a residuary heir). The maternal half-brother and the paternal first cousin do not inherit; the former is excluded by the daughters, and the latter is excluded by the full sister, who becomes a residuary heir with the daughters. The origin of the estate is 24 shares: Mother: 4 shares, Two daughters: 16 shares (8 for each), Wife: 3 shares, Full sister: 1 share.
