ما هو نصيب كل وارث من تركة المتوفاة البالغة مليونًا، ولها أم، وبنت، وأخت شقيقة، وخمسة أبناء عم أشقاء؟

1 min readAlso available in العربية

If the deceased left only male heirs, the inheritance is divided as follows:

For the mother: One-sixth as a fixed share, due to the presence of a lineal descendant (inheritor), based on the Almighty's saying: "And for his parents, each of them the sixth of what he left if he had a child." For the daughter: One-half as a fixed share, based on the Almighty's saying: "And if there be only one daughter, she receives half." For the full sister: The remainder by residuary inheritance, as she becomes a residuary heir with the female lineal descendant.

There is nothing for the full paternal cousins; because the full sister excludes them completely (hujub hirmān).

If the amount is one million, it is divided into six shares:

For the mother: One share. For the daughter: Three shares. For the full sister: Two shares.

It must be emphasized that inheritance matters are serious and complex, and merely a fatwa is not sufficient. Rather, they must be referred to Sharia courts for investigation and to ensure there are no other heirs, wills, or debts that take precedence over the heirs' rights.
