Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If the deceased leaves behind only a mother, a wife, three sons, and one daughter, then the mother receives one-sixth due to the presence of inheriting offspring. The wife receives one-eighth due to the presence of inheriting offspring. The remainder goes to the sons and daughter by way of ta'sib (residuary heirship), with the male receiving the share of two females. The full siblings (brothers or sisters) do not inherit due to the presence of a son. The inheritance is divided into 168 shares: the mother receives 28 shares, the wife receives 21 shares, each son receives 34 shares, and the daughter receives 17 shares.
