Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If a person dies leaving only three sons and four daughters, and there are no other heirs, then their inheritance is divided among them such that the male receives the share of two females, in accordance with the Almighty's saying: "Allah instructs you concerning your children: for the male, what is equal to the share of two females." So, the land is divided into ten shares: each son receives two shares, and each daughter receives one share. The matter of inheritances must be submitted to the courts to verify the absence of other heirs, wills, debts, or rights that take precedence over the rights of the heirs.
