Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If the deceased left behind only a wife, two daughters, and nephews (sons of a full brother), then the wife receives one-eighth (18 shares) due to the presence of a lineal descendant. The two daughters receive two-thirds (96 shares, 48 shares for each). The remaining portion (30 shares) goes to the nephews by ta’sib (agnatic inheritance), with each nephew receiving 5 shares. This is based on dividing the inheritance into 144 shares.
