How is the inheritance of a deceased person divided if they left behind a husband, four daughters, two full brothers, and one full sister?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If the heirs are limited to those mentioned, the husband receives one-fourth due to the presence of a lineal descendant heir. The four daughters receive two-thirds. The remaining portion goes to the full sister and the two full brothers by 'asabah (agnatic succession), with the male receiving the share of two females. The matter must be brought before the courts to verify the absence of other heirs, wills, or debts that take precedence over the rights of the heirs.
