How is the estate of a deceased woman divided, given that she has 3 sons and 4 daughters, and knowing that the estate consists of two properties (one fully occupied, and the other with 5 occupied apartments and one vacant apartment, and 3 commercial shops), in addition to a cash amount of 50,000 pounds and 100 grams of gold?
If a woman dies leaving four sons and three daughters, and no other heirs, the inheritance is divided ta’seeban (by agnation), with the male receiving the share of two females. The inheritance is divided into eleven shares: each son receives two shares, and each daughter receives one share.
However, if there are three sons and four daughters, the inheritance is divided into ten shares: each male receives two shares, and each female receives one share.
The income from rented properties, money, and gold is divided in the manner mentioned. The sons residing in some of the properties are obliged to pay rent to the heirs after deducting their own share, unless the heirs waive that right.
