How is the estate of a woman distributed if she passed away leaving four daughters, three males and two females from her son's children who died before her, three full brothers, and one full sister?
The inheritance is divided if the heirs are limited to those mentioned, as follows: The daughters receive two-thirds, according to the Almighty's saying: "And if there are [only] daughters, two or more, for them is two thirds of what he left." The remainder goes to the sons of the son and the daughters of the son, with the male receiving the share of two females, according to the Almighty's saying: "Allah instructs you concerning your children: for the male, what is equal to the share of two females." As for the full brothers and full sisters, they do not inherit because they are excluded by the sons of the son. The matter of inheritances must be brought before the Sharia courts to verify all heirs, wills, debts, and other rights before distribution.
