What is the share of each heir from the estate of the deceased woman who has: (a son - a father - a full brother - a husband - a mother - two daughters - 5 full sisters), knowing that the deceased was living with her parents and husband in the family home, and moved to her husband's home four months before her death, and the husband is demanding his right to the house?
If the questioner's sister did not own anything in the house, then her husband has no right to it. The deceased bequeaths what they own, not what their relatives own. If the wife owned a part of the house, then her husband has the right to claim his share from her portion.
The rightful heirs are: - The mother: One-sixth (due to the presence of a lineal descendant). - The father: One-sixth (due to the presence of a lineal descendant). - The husband: One-fourth (due to the presence of a lineal descendant). - The son and the two daughters: Inherit the remainder by ta'sib (residuary heirship), with the male receiving the share of two females. - The brothers and sisters: Do not inherit in the presence of a son or a father.
The inheritance is divided into 48 shares: - For the mother: 8 shares. - For the father: 8 shares. - For the husband: 12 shares. - For the son: 10 shares. - For each daughter: 5 shares.
