How is an inheritance divided if the deceased (male) left an estate and his heirs are: two daughters, a wife, and three full paternal uncles' sons?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The wife receives one-eighth due to the existence of a lineal descendant. The two daughters receive two-thirds. The remainder goes to the paternal first cousins (sons of the full paternal uncle) by ta’sib (residuary inheritance), with the male receiving the share of two females. The inheritance is divided into seventy-two shares: the wife receives nine shares, the two daughters receive forty-eight shares (twenty-four for each), and each paternal first cousin receives five shares.
