What is the share of each heir from the estate of a woman who passed away, leaving behind four daughters, one son's daughter, one full sister, three full brothers' sons, and five full brothers' daughters?
The deceased woman's heirs are limited to her daughters and her full sister. The daughters receive two-thirds, and the remainder goes to the full sister by ta’sib (residuary inheritance), based on the Almighty's saying: (But if there are [only] daughters, two or more, for them is two thirds of what he left), and based on the consensus of scholars that sisters inherit residually with daughters and receive what remains after them.
As for the granddaughter (daughter of the son) and the sons and daughters of the full brother, they inherit nothing.
