Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The wife receives one-eighth due to the presence of a direct heir. The remainder goes to the sons and daughters by ta'sib (agnatic inheritance), with the male receiving the share of two females. The other mentioned heirs receive nothing, as they are excluded by the presence of the son. The estate is divided into sixteen shares: the wife receives two shares, each son receives two shares, and each daughter receives one share. The matter of estates must be referred to the courts for investigation.
