How is the inheritance divided among: three daughters, a wife, a full sister, and two full nephews?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

If the deceased leaves behind only a wife, daughters, a full sister, and two sons of a full brother, then the wife takes one-eighth due to the presence of a lineal descendant. The daughters take two-thirds, and the remainder goes to the full sister by ta’sib (residuary heirship). The two sons of the full brother receive nothing because they are excluded by the full sister. The inheritance is divided into 72 shares: the wife receives 9 shares, the daughters receive 48 shares (16 shares for each), and the full sister receives 15 shares.
