What is the share of each heir from the mentioned inheritance?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The daughter receives one-half as a prescribed share (fard), based on the Almighty's saying: "{...and if there is only one daughter, her share is half...}". The remainder goes to the full siblings (brothers and sisters) by 'asabah (residuary heirship), with the male receiving the share of two females, based on the Almighty's saying: "{...and if they are brothers and sisters, both males and females, then the male shall have the share of two females...}". The inheritance is divided into 14 shares: the daughter gets half, which is seven shares; each full brother gets two shares; and each full sister gets one share.
