Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If the deceased leaves behind only their parents, wife, and daughter, then the mother receives one-sixth, the father one-sixth, the wife one-eighth, and the daughter one-half, due to the presence of a lineal descendant. The remainder is taken by the father by way of ta'sib (residuary heirship). Siblings, both brothers and sisters, do not inherit when the father is present. The estate is divided into twenty-four shares: three for the wife, twelve for the daughter, four for the mother, and five for the father (four by way of fard (fixed share) and one by way of ta'sib).
