What is the share of each heir from an inheritance of one million, if a woman died and left behind: a husband, eight full brothers, four daughters, and one full sister?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

If the deceased left no heirs other than her husband, her daughters, and her full siblings, then:

- The husband gets one-fourth due to the presence of a lineal descendant (Surat An-Nisa, verse 12).

- The daughters get two-thirds (Surat An-Nisa, verse 11).

- The remainder goes to the full brothers and full sister by ta’sib (residuary heirship), with the male receiving the share of two females (Surat An-Nisa, verse 176).

The amount is divided into 204 shares:

- For the husband: 51 shares.

- For the daughters: 136 shares.

- For each full brother: two shares.

- For the full sister: one share.
