What is the share of each heir from the inheritance if the deceased left behind a husband, two full brothers, and three full sisters?
If the deceased leaves behind only a husband, full sisters, and full brothers, the husband receives one-half as his prescribed share (fard), in accordance with the Almighty’s saying: "And for you is half of what your wives leave if they have no child" (An-Nisa: 12). The remainder goes to the full sisters and full brothers by way of ta’sib (residuary heirship), with the male receiving the share of two females, in accordance with the Almighty’s saying: "And if there are brothers and sisters, male and female, then the male will have the share of two females" (An-Nisa: 176). The inheritance is divided into 14 shares: the husband receives 7 shares, each full brother receives two shares, and each full sister receives one share.
