What is the share of each heir from the inheritance for a deceased person who has a father, a mother, and three full sisters?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If the deceased left no heirs other than the father, mother, and three full sisters, then the mother receives one-sixth due to the presence of a group of siblings. The father takes the remainder by ta’sib (residuary heirship), based on the Almighty’s saying: "But if he has brothers [and sisters], the mother will have one-sixth." As for the sisters, they inherit nothing due to the presence of the father. It is advised to consult courts regarding inheritance matters.
