Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If the deceased leaves behind only a mother, a father, a wife, two sons, and daughters, then the mother receives one-sixth and the father receives one-sixth due to the presence of inheriting offspring. The wife receives one-eighth due to the presence of inheriting offspring. The remainder goes to the two sons and daughters by ta'sib, with the male receiving the share of two females. The inheritance is divided into 168 shares: the mother receives 28 shares, the father receives 28 shares, the wife receives 21 shares, each son receives 26 shares, and each daughter receives 13 shares.
