How is the inheritance of someone who died leaving two daughters distributed?
If a person dies leaving only two daughters and no other heirs, then all the money is theirs equally: two-thirds as their prescribed share (fard), and the remainder as a return (radd) due to the absence of any male residuary heir (asabah). This is the view of a group of Companions, their successors (Tabi'in), and Imams, and it is the current practice in various regions today. It is important to note that matters of inheritance are serious and complex, and one should not rely solely on a fatwa. Rather, such matters must be brought before the Sharia courts for investigation, as there may be wills, debts, or rights that take precedence over the heirs' rights.
