How is inheritance divided among three sons, six daughters, and a wife, knowing that one of the sons and one of the daughters died after the father?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If the deceased left no heirs except a wife, three sons, and six daughters, then the wife receives one-eighth due to the existence of a inheriting offspring. The remainder goes to the sons and daughters by ta'sib (residuary heirship), with the male receiving the share of two females. The inheritance is divided into ninety-six shares: the wife receives twelve shares, each son fourteen shares, and each daughter seven shares. The share of any son or daughter who passed away before receiving their portion goes to their own heirs.
