How is the inheritance divided among four sons, five daughters, and one wife of the deceased?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The wife receives one-eighth due to the existence of a lineal descendant, and the remainder goes to the sons and daughters by way of ta'sib (agnatic inheritance), with the male receiving the share of two females. The inheritance is divided into 104 shares: the wife receives 13 shares, each son receives 14 shares, and each daughter receives 7 shares. The matter must be referred to the courts for consideration and investigation of inheritances.
