1 min readAlso available in العربية

The heirs are the father, the mother, the wife, and the two daughters. The grandmother, brothers, sisters, paternal uncles, and their sons are excluded. The father receives one-sixth, and the mother receives one-sixth due to the presence of a lineal descendant. The wife receives one-eighth due to the presence of a lineal descendant. The two daughters receive two-thirds. The inheritance is divided into twenty-seven shares: the father receives four, the mother receives four, the wife receives three, and each daughter receives eight shares. This is the obligation known as Al-Minbariyya. The matter of inheritances must be referred to the Sharia courts for review and verification.
