How is the sum of 500 Saudi Riyals to be distributed among four daughters and two sisters who passed away before the distribution, and who have children?

المناسخة (transfer of shares) is when a person dies and their inheritance is not divided until one or more of their heirs also die. The inheritance of the first deceased is then divided to determine the shares of the second deceased from it. Then, another issue (calculation) is made for the second deceased to determine the shares of each of their heirs. After that, the shares of the second deceased from the first issue are divided among the shares of their own issue.

In the first issue: The share of the four daughters is two-thirds due to the absence of a male agnate ('asabah). The share of the two sisters is the remainder. So, the original issue is from three: two shares for the daughters and one share for the two sisters. When dividing the shares among the heads, since the fraction occurred in more than one group, we take the partial share for each group separately. Then we multiply one of them by the original issue (3), making the corrected original issue (6). Each daughter gets one share (one-sixth), and each sister gets one share (one-sixth). The value of one share is (166) riyals and 66 halalas.

The share of each of the two sisters is divided among their heirs. This division depends on knowing the number and gender of each sister's heirs.

Inheritance matters are serious and complex, and a fatwa (religious edict) alone is not sufficient. Rather, they must be referred to the Sharia courts, as there may be heirs who are not discovered except through investigation, or wills or debts that take precedence over the rights of the heirs.
