What is the share of each heir from the estate of the deceased woman who left behind: five full brothers, a husband, and four daughters?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If a woman leaves behind only her husband, daughters, and full brothers, then the husband receives one-fourth due to the presence of a lineal descendant. The daughters receive two-thirds, and the remainder goes to the full brothers by ta'sib (residuary heirship), with the male receiving the share of two females. The inheritance is divided into 60 shares: the husband gets 15 shares, the daughters get 40 shares (10 shares for each), and each full brother gets one share.
