Is the estate distributed among a mother, two daughters, a wife, a full paternal uncle, and three full paternal cousins?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

If the deceased leaves behind only a mother, a wife, two daughters, and a full paternal uncle, then the mother receives one-sixth due to the presence of a lineal descendant, the wife receives one-eighth due to the presence of a lineal descendant, and the two daughters receive two-thirds. The remainder, after the prescribed shares, is taken by the full paternal uncle by virtue of 'asabah (agnatic succession), and the paternal uncle's sons receive nothing due to the presence of the uncle. The inheritance is divided into twenty-four shares: the daughters receive sixteen shares (eight for each), the mother receives four shares, the wife receives three shares, and the uncle receives one share.
