If the deceased has no heirs other than those mentioned, then her husband receives one-fourth, her father one-sixth, her mother one-sixth, and her daughter one-half. This is a case of 'awl (proportional reduction), as the inheritance shares are increased from twelve to thirteen. The husband's share will be 87 dirhams, the father's 58 dirhams, the mother's 58 dirhams, and the daughter's 175 dirhams. Two dirhams will remain, to be divided fractionally. It is obligatory to refer inheritance matters to the courts for investigation, as there may be bequests, debts, or rights that take precedence over the heirs' rights.
