How is the inheritance distributed among a husband, three daughters, three full sisters, and a full brother?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

If the deceased has no heirs other than those mentioned, the inheritance is divided as follows: the husband receives one-fourth due to the presence of a descendant heir, and the daughters receive two-thirds due to their plurality and the absence of a male sibling to equalize their share. The remainder, which is one share out of twelve, goes to the full siblings, with the male receiving the share of two females. We alert the esteemed questioner that matters of inheritance are serious and complex, and it is not sufficient to rely solely on a fatwa. Rather, the matter must be referred to the Sharia courts for investigation and consideration of wills, debts, and other rights.
