How is the inheritance divided among the wife, the single daughter, the full brother, and the two full sisters?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

If the heirs are limited to a wife, a daughter, a full brother, and two full sisters, then the wife receives one-eighth, the daughter receives one-half, and the remainder goes to the full brother and two full sisters by way of ta’sib (residuary heirship), with the male receiving the share of two females. Cases of inheritance must be brought before the Sharia courts for investigation due to the presence of matters that may be hidden from the heirs, such as the existence of another heir, bequests, or debts.
