Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If a man dies and leaves behind a mother, a wife, a full brother, and three full sisters, the inheritance is divided as follows: the wife gets one-fourth due to the absence of a direct heir, and the mother gets one-sixth due to the presence of siblings. The remainder goes to the full brothers and sisters, with the male receiving the share of two females.
