What is the share of each heir from the inheritance if the deceased left behind three daughters, one wife, two full sisters, and ten paternal nephews?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

If the heirs are limited to the daughters, the wife, and the two full sisters, then the inheritance is divided as follows: The daughters receive two-thirds due to their plurality, and the wife receives one-eighth due to the presence of offspring (the daughters). What remains after allocating the shares of the daughters and the wife goes to the two full sisters by ta'sib (residuary inheritance) because they become residuary heirs with the daughters. The sons of the brother receive nothing because they are completely excluded by the full sisters.

The original basis of the estate is 24, and it is corrected to 144 shares. The daughters receive 96 shares (32 shares for each), the wife receives 18 shares, and the two full sisters receive 30 shares (15 shares for each).
