Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If the deceased left only male descendants, then his wife receives one-eighth as a prescribed share due to the presence of a lineal descendant. His daughter receives one-half as a prescribed share. The remainder is for the brother and sister by ta'sib (residuary inheritance), with the male receiving a share equivalent to that of two females. The rest of the mentioned heirs receive nothing, as they are excluded by complete deprivation.
