Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The heirs are: the wife, five daughters, a grandson (son's son), and a granddaughter (son's daughter).
The wife receives one-eighth (45 shares) due to the presence of a lineal descendant heir.
The daughters receive two-thirds (240 shares), with each receiving 48 shares.
The remainder goes to the grandson and granddaughter by 'asabah (agnatic succession), with the male receiving the share of two females. Thus, the grandson receives 50 shares, and the granddaughter receives 25 shares.
The inheritance is divided into 360 shares.
The matter must be referred to the courts to verify all heirs, debts, and bequests.
