What is the share of the wife, two sons, a daughter, a paternal uncle, and a nephew (sister's son) from a man's inheritance after his death?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The wife receives one-eighth due to the presence of a direct descendant. The remainder is divided among the sons and daughters, with the male receiving the share of two females. The paternal uncle does not inherit due to the presence of a son, and the sister's son does not inherit. The estate is divided into 40 shares: the wife receives 5 shares, each son receives 14 shares, and the daughter receives 7 shares. The questioner is advised to refer the matter to the courts, as there may be issues that are hidden from the heirs.
