What is the division of the inheritance of a man who died leaving a wife, a daughter, two full sisters, and cousins?
The wife gets one-eighth, based on the Almighty's saying: (But if you have a child, then for them is one eighth of what you leave). The daughter gets one-half, based on the Almighty's saying: (But if there is only one, she will have half). The two full sisters get the remainder, as it is established that they are 'asabah (residuaries) with the daughter. The inheritance is divided into eight shares: one share for the wife, four shares for the daughter, and three shares for the two full sisters. The paternal cousins receive nothing.
