Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If the deceased has no heirs other than one son and two daughters, then after settling debts and executing legitimate bequests, the inheritance is divided among them, with the male receiving the share of two females, in accordance with the Almighty's saying: "Allah instructs you concerning your children: for the male, what is equal to the share of two females." Accordingly, the inheritance is divided into four shares: two shares for the son, and one share for each daughter.
