How is inheritance divided among the father, mother, and only daughter?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If the heirs are limited to the daughter, the mother, and the father, the inheritance is divided as follows: The daughter receives half because she is the sole daughter. The mother receives one-sixth due to the presence of a lineal descendant. The father receives what remains after the shares of the daughter and the mother. The inheritance is divided into six shares: three shares for the daughter, one share for the mother, and two shares for the father.
