How is the inheritance divided among a mother, a daughter, two brothers, and two sisters?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

If the deceased leaves behind only a mother, a daughter, two full brothers, and two full sisters, then the mother receives one-sixth due to the presence of a lineal descendant. The daughter receives one-half. The remainder goes to the two full brothers and two full sisters by 'asaba (residuary heirship), with the male receiving the share of two females. The inheritance is divided into eighteen shares: three for the mother, nine for the daughter, two for each full brother, and one for each full sister.
