What is the share of each heir from the deceased's estate, which includes: a wife, a mother, a daughter, and four full brothers, knowing that the father is deceased?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

If the heirs of the deceased are limited to the wife, mother, daughter, and full siblings, then the mother receives one-sixth, the wife one-eighth, and the daughter one-half. The remainder goes to the full siblings. The inheritance is divided into 96 shares: the daughter receives 48 shares, the mother 16 shares, the wife 12 shares, and each full brother 5 shares. It is important to note that inheritance matters are complex and delicate, and it is not sufficient to rely solely on a fatwa. Rather, such cases must be submitted to the Sharia courts for investigation, as there may be other heirs, bequests, debts, or other rights that take precedence over the rights of the heirs.
