What is the share in inheritance for each of the husband, daughter, father, mother, full brother, and two full sisters?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

If a woman passes away, leaving behind a husband, a daughter, a father, a mother, a brother, and a sister, and no other heirs:

Her husband receives one-fourth due to the presence of a child. Her daughter receives one-half because she is the sole daughter. Her father receives one-sixth. Her mother receives one-sixth due to the presence of a child. Her brother and sister receive nothing as they are excluded by the father.

This is an 'awl (recalibrated) case and is divided into 13 shares: the husband receives 3 shares, the father receives 2 shares, the mother receives 2 shares, and the daughter receives 6 shares.

Inheritance matters should be presented to Sharia courts.
