How is the inheritance of a man who died and left behind a wife, five daughters, a full brother, four full sisters, a maternal half-brother, and a paternal half-sister distributed?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The wife gets one-eighth due to the presence of a direct descendant. The five daughters get two-thirds. The remaining portion goes to the full brother and his full sisters by ta'sib (agnatic inheritance), with the male receiving the share of two females. The paternal sister receives nothing due to the presence of the full brother. The maternal brother receives nothing because he is excluded by the daughter. The inheritance is divided into 720 shares.
