How is the inheritance divided between a husband, six daughters, and three full sisters, and what is the share of each heir, and is the gold distributed only among the daughters?
After the deceased's debts are paid and her bequests are executed, her estate is to be divided as follows: the husband receives one-fourth (due to the presence of a lineal descendant), the seven daughters receive two-thirds of the estate equally, and the three full sisters receive the remainder by ta'sib (agnatic inheritance) equally among them. Based on this, the estate is divided into 36 shares: 9 shares for the husband, 24 shares for the daughters (4 shares for each daughter), and 3 shares for the sisters (1 share for each sister). Gold is not exclusive to the daughters unless the other heirs relinquish their claim; rather, it is part of the estate. It is recommended to refer the matter to the courts due to the serious nature of inheritance issues and to ensure there are no other heirs, debts, or bequests.
