How is the inheritance divided among the wife, the three daughters, and the full sister?
The inheritance of the deceased, if there are no heirs other than these women, is divided as follows: The daughters receive two-thirds, as Allah Almighty says: {But if there are [only] daughters, two or more, for them is two-thirds of what he left.} His wife receives one-eighth due to the presence of a descendant heir, as Allah Almighty says: {But if you have a child, then for them is one-eighth of what you leave.} What remains after the share of the daughters and the wife goes to the full sister by ta'sib (residuary inheritance), based on Al-Rahabi's saying: "And if there are sisters with daughters, then they become residuary heirs with them." The estate is validated from seventy-two shares: The daughters receive forty-eight shares (sixteen for each), the wife receives nine shares, and the full sister receives fifteen shares.
