What is the share of each heir from the inheritance if the heirs are: one daughter, two full brothers, and one full sister?
The daughter receives one-half as a fard (prescribed share), based on Allah's saying: "And if there is only one daughter, she will receive half." The remainder goes to the two brothers and the sister by ta'sib (residuary heirship), with the male receiving the share of two females, based on His saying: "And if they are brothers and sisters, then the male will receive the share of two females." Thus, the inheritance is divided into ten shares: the daughter receives five shares, each brother receives two shares, and the sister receives one share.
It is advisable to refer inheritance matters to the courts for investigation and to ensure that there are no other heirs, wills, debts, or rights that take precedence over the rights of the heirs.
