Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If a woman leaves no heirs other than her mother, father, husband, two sons, and two daughters, then her mother and father each receive one-sixth due to the presence of a descendant heir. Her husband receives one-fourth due to the presence of a descendant heir. The remainder goes to the two sons and two daughters by ta'sib (residuary inheritance), with the male receiving the share of two females. The estate is divided into seventy-two shares: the mother and father each receive twelve shares, the husband eighteen shares, each daughter five shares, and each son ten shares.
