How is the inheritance of a woman to be distributed if she left behind two daughters, two grandsons from a son who died before her, and a living brother?
If the deceased left behind only her two daughters, her two grandsons (sons of her son), and her brother, then her two daughters receive two-thirds as a prescribed share. The remainder is taken by the two grandsons by virtue of ta’sib (agnatic inheritance). Her brother receives nothing, as he is excluded by complete exclusion due to the presence of the son's son. The estate is divided into six shares: four shares for the two daughters (two shares for each), and two shares for the two grandsons (one share for each).
