What is the share of each heir from the inheritance?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
First, the heirs must be accurately identified to determine how the inheritance is to be divided.
If the deceased left no heirs other than a wife, three full sisters, a full brother's son, and a full brother's daughter, then the wife receives one-fourth (9 shares) due to the absence of a child. The full sisters receive two-thirds (24 shares, 8 shares for each one), and the remainder (3 shares) goes to the full brother's son by 'asabah (agnatic relationship). The full brother's daughter receives nothing as she is not among those who inherit.
In this case, the inheritance is divided into 36 shares.
