How is inheritance divided among 4 daughters, a wife, and 5 full sisters of the deceased?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The deceased's wife receives one-eighth due to the existence of a inheriting offspring. The daughters receive two-thirds. The remaining inheritance is for the sisters by virtue of ta’sib (residuary heirship). The estate is divided into 24 shares: 3 shares for the wife, 16 shares for the daughters (4 shares for each), and 5 shares for the sisters (1 share for each). It is advisable to refer inheritance matters to the courts for investigation and to ensure there are no wills, debts, or other rights that take precedence over the inheritors' rights.
