Please, divide the inheritance among the following heirs: a son and a daughter.

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The inheritance is divided between the son and the daughter, with the male receiving the equivalent of the share of two females, meaning it is divided into three portions: two portions for the son and one portion for the daughter. This is based on the Almighty's saying: "Allah instructs you concerning your children: for the male is the equivalent of the share of two females." The questioner is advised that matters of inheritance are critical and complex, and a mere fatwa is insufficient. Rather, they must be brought before the Sharia courts for investigation, as there might be other heirs, wills, debts, or rights that take precedence over the heirs' rights.
