Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If the deceased leaves behind only a wife, a son, and two daughters, the wife receives one-eighth due to the existence of inheriting offspring. The remainder is distributed among the son and the two daughters by way of ta'sib (agnatic inheritance), with the male receiving the share of two females. The estate is divided into 32 shares: the wife receives 4 shares, the son receives 14 shares, and each daughter receives 7 shares.
