What is the share of the legal heirs from the inheritance if the deceased left behind four daughters, one wife, and one full sister?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If the deceased leaves behind only a wife, daughters, and a full sister, the wife receives one-eighth due to the presence of a lineal descendant. The daughters receive two-thirds, and the remainder goes to the full sister by ta’sib (residuary heirship).
The inheritance is divided into twenty-four shares: three shares for the wife, sixteen shares for the daughters (four for each), and five shares for the full sister.
