What is the share of each heir from the inheritance if the deceased passed away and left behind: one son, a father, a mother, and two daughters?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

If the deceased leaves behind only a father, a mother, a son, and two daughters, then the mother receives one-sixth and the father receives one-sixth due to the presence of a lineal descendant. The remainder is for the son and the two daughters by way of ta'sib (residuary inheritance), with the male receiving the share of two females. The estate is divided into six shares: one share for the mother, one share for the father, two shares for the son, and one share for each daughter.
