What is the share of each individual heir (the father, the mother, the three wives, the five sons, and the three daughters) from the inheritance amount of 206,000 Saudi Riyals?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If the deceased left behind only the parents, wives, and children, then each of the parents receives one-sixth due to the presence of a lineal descendant. The wives collectively receive one-eighth, which they divide equally among themselves, also due to the presence of a lineal descendant. The remaining portion is for the sons and daughters by ta'sib (residuary heirship), with the male receiving the share of two females. The root of the inheritance problem is 24: the father's share is 4/24, the mother's share is 4/24, the wives' share is 3/24, and the remainder (13/24) is for the children.
