How is the inheritance of the deceased first divided among his stated heirs, and do his sisters have a share in the عصوبة (agnatic kinship)?
To determine how an inheritance should be divided, the heirs must be accurately identified. Assuming the heirs are: a wife, four daughters, two full brothers, and three full sisters, then the wife receives one-eighth due to the presence of a lineal descendant. The daughters receive two-thirds. The remaining portion is distributed among the full brothers and sisters by ta’sib (residuary heirship), with the male receiving the share of two females. In this case, the inheritance is divided into 168 shares: the wife receives 21 shares, the daughters receive 112 shares (28 shares for each daughter), each full brother receives 10 shares, and each full sister receives 5 shares. The share of a deceased brother is distributed among his own heirs.
