Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If the deceased leaves behind only two wives, daughters, and a full brother, then the two wives receive one-eighth (1/8) as a prescribed share, to be divided equally between them, due to the presence of a direct heir. The daughters receive two-thirds (2/3) as a prescribed share. The remainder goes to the full brother by way of ta’sib (residuary inheritance).
The inheritance is divided into 48 shares: The two wives receive 6 shares (3 for each), the daughters receive 32 shares (8 for each), and the full brother receives 10 shares.
