What is the share of the heirs of a woman who died and left behind a husband, parents, male and female children, and male and female siblings?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Brothers and sisters do not inherit when male children or a father are present. If a woman passes away, leaving behind a husband, a father, a mother, and male and female children, the husband receives one-fourth, the father and mother each receive one-sixth, and the remainder goes to the children, with the male receiving the share of two females. It must be noted that inheritance matters are serious and complex, and there may be associated rights such as debt or a will that take precedence over the heirs' right. Therefore, it is advisable to consult a court.
