How is the inheritance distributed among a mother, two daughters, three full brothers, and three full sisters?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If the deceased leaves behind only a mother, two daughters, full brothers, and full sisters, then the mother receives one-sixth due to the presence of a lineal descendant and a group of siblings. The two daughters receive two-thirds. The remainder goes to the full brothers and full sisters by ta'sib (agnatic succession), with the male receiving the share of two females. The estate is divided into fifty-four shares: the mother receives nine shares, the two daughters receive thirty-six shares (eighteen for each), each full brother receives two shares, and each full sister receives one share.
