How is the inheritance divided among the wife, the single daughter, and the three full brothers?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The deceased's wife receives one-eighth due to the presence of a lineal descendant. His daughter receives one-half. The remainder goes to the full siblings by ta’sib (agnatic inheritance), equally divided among them. Thus, the inheritance is divided into eight shares: one share for the wife, four shares for the daughter, and three shares for the full siblings, with each brother receiving one share. The matter of estates must be referred to the courts due to the potential existence of wills, debts, or other rights that take precedence over the rights of the heirs.
