Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If the deceased left behind only his wife, four daughters, two brothers, and two sisters, then the wife receives one-eighth (18/144) due to the presence of a lineal descendant. The four daughters receive two-thirds (96/144), with each daughter receiving 24 shares. The remaining shares go to the brothers and sisters by way of ta'sib (residuary heirship), with the male receiving the share of two females (10 shares for a brother and 5 shares for a sister). The estate is divided into 144 shares.
