How is the estate of a deceased woman divided if she left behind four daughters, two sons, and one sister?
The estate of a woman is divided among her sons and daughters if the heirs are exclusively them, with the male receiving the equivalent of the share of two females. The sister receives nothing if there are children. It is recommended to give the sister something from the inheritance if she is present at the division. We emphasize that inheritance matters are serious and complex, and a mere fatwa is insufficient. Rather, they must be referred to the Sharia courts for investigation, as there may be wills, debts, or other rights that could be hidden from the heirs.
