What is the share of each heir from the inheritance, knowing that the deceased's heirs are: one wife, two daughters, two sons, three full sisters, and one paternal half-brother?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The wife gets one-eighth due to the existence of a lineal descendant. The remaining inheritance goes to the two sons and two daughters by ta'sib (agnatic inheritance), with the male receiving the share of two females. The full sisters and the paternal half-brother get nothing because they are excluded by the son. The estate is divided into forty-eight shares: the wife receives six shares, each son receives fourteen shares, and each daughter receives seven shares.
