The answer

The share of a daughter in inheritance has several scenarios:

- If the daughter is an only child and has no brother or sister, she receives half.

- If there is more than one daughter (two or more) and the deceased has no male children, they receive two-thirds.

- If there is a male lineal descendant (brother) with her, she receives half the share of her brother, "For the male, what is the share of two females," after each entitled heir has received their prescribed share.

Allah has divided these shares, and it is not permissible to alter them, disinherit an heir, or increase or decrease anyone's share.
