Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The inheritance is divided as follows: The wife gets one-eighth (due to the presence of a direct descendant), the two daughters get two-thirds, and the rest goes to the full brothers and full sisters by ta'sib (residuary heirship), with the male receiving the share of two females.
The inheritance is divided into 168 shares: The wife gets 21 shares, each daughter gets 56 shares, each full brother gets 10 shares, and each full sister gets 5 shares.
Issues concerning inheritances must be submitted to the courts to verify all heirs, wills, debts, and other rights before distribution.
