Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If the deceased left only male descendants, then the mother receives one-sixth, the father one-sixth, and his wife one-eighth, due to the presence of a lineal descendant (inheriting offspring). The remainder is for the sons, the daughter, and the fetus by taʿṣīb (agnatic inheritance), with the male receiving the share of two females. The mother, father, and wife are given their shares immediately. The share of the children is withheld until the status of the fetus is clear, and the remainder is then divided according to the gender of the newborn (male, female, two males, two females, or a male and a female).
