What is the share of each heir from the inheritance of the deceased who left behind: a husband, two daughters, a full sister, two full brothers, a full brother's son, two full paternal uncles, and two full paternal uncle's sons, knowing that one of the paternal uncles has been missing for 20 years due to severe psychological conditions?
If a deceased woman leaves behind as heirs only her husband, two daughters, and full siblings, then:
- The husband receives: one-fourth as a prescribed share due to the presence of a lineal descendant, based on the Almighty's saying: "But if they have a child, then for you is one fourth of what they leave, after any bequest they [may have] made or debt." (Quran 4:12) - The two daughters receive: two-thirds as a prescribed share, based on what was authentically reported from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, that he gave two-thirds to the two daughters of Sa'd ibn al-Rabi', and the consensus of scholars on this matter. - The remainder: goes to the full brothers and full sister by residuary right (ta'sib), with the male receiving the share of two females, based on the Almighty's saying: "And if there are brothers and sisters, then for the male will be the share of two females." (Quran 4:176) - The son of a full brother, paternal uncles, and sons of paternal uncles are completely excluded (ḥajb ḥirmān) by the full brother.
The inheritance is divided into sixty shares: - The husband: 15 shares. - The two daughters: 40 shares (20 shares for each). - Each full brother: two shares. - The full sister: one share.
