How is an inheritance divided among a husband and two daughters?
Source: FtawySummarized from the full answer at Ftawy · imported Sep 2, 2026
If a woman dies leaving behind only a husband and two daughters, the husband receives one-fourth as a fixed share due to the presence of a lineal descendant, and the two daughters receive two-thirds as a fixed share. The remainder is returned to the two daughters. In this case, the inheritance is divided into eight shares: the husband receives two shares (one-fourth), and each daughter receives three shares (as a fixed share and a return).
