Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If the deceased left no heirs except a wife, five sons, and three daughters, and no others such as a father, mother, grandfather, or grandmother, then the wife receives one-eighth due to the existence of a inheriting offspring. The remainder is distributed among the sons and daughters by ta'sib (agnatic inheritance), with the male receiving the share of two females. The inheritance is divided into one hundred and four shares: the wife receives thirteen shares, each son receives fourteen shares, and each daughter receives seven shares.
