How is the inheritance distributed if the deceased left behind: one wife, 7 daughters, 2 full sisters, 1 paternal sister, 2 maternal brothers, and 5 paternal nephews?
The full brothers (brothers from both mother and father), the paternal nephews (sons of the paternal brother), and the paternal sister (sister from father's side only) are excluded from inheritance. - The daughters receive two-thirds, as Allah Almighty says: "But if there are [only] daughters, two or more, for them is two thirds of what he left." (An-Nisa: 11). - The wife receives one-eighth, as Allah Almighty says: "But if you have a child, then for them is one eighth of what you leave, after any bequest you [may have] made or debt." (An-Nisa: 12). - The remainder goes to the two full sisters as 'asabah with others.
The inheritance is divided into 336 shares after deducting any rights: - Each of the seven daughters receives 32 shares. - The wife receives 42 shares. - Each full sister receives 35 shares.
It is necessary to refer inheritance matters to the courts for investigation and to ensure that there are no wills, debts, or other rights that take precedence over the heirs' rights.
