How is the inheritance divided if the heirs are: a husband, one full brother, two daughters, and two full sisters?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

If the deceased leaves behind only a husband, two daughters, a full brother, and two full sisters, then the husband receives one-fourth due to the presence of a lineal descendant. The two daughters receive two-thirds. The remainder is for the full brother and the two full sisters, by way عصبه (residuaries), with the male receiving the share of two females. The inheritance is divided into forty-eight shares: the husband receives twelve shares, the two daughters receive thirty-two shares (sixteen for each), the full brother receives two shares, and each full sister receives one share.
