How is the inheritance divided for a female who passed away and left behind: one full paternal male cousin, one full sister, and one paternal sister?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If the deceased leaves behind only a full sister, a paternal sister, and a full paternal cousin, the inheritance is divided into six shares: the full sister receives half (three shares), the paternal sister receives one-sixth (one share) as a complement to two-thirds, and the full paternal cousin receives the remainder (two shares) by virtue of asabah (agnatic relationship).
