What is the share of each heir from the deceased's estate if the heirs are as follows: 3 daughters, 1 wife, and 5 sons of a full brother?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

If the deceased left behind only a wife, daughters, and full paternal nephews, then the wife receives one-eighth due to the presence of a lineal descendant heir. The daughters receive two-thirds. The remainder goes to the full paternal nephews by virtue of ta’sib (residuary inheritance). The estate is divided into 72 shares. Issues related to inheritances must be referred to the Sharia courts to verify all rights, debts, and bequests.
