Who inherits a deceased husband who is survived by a wife, one daughter, a mother, a full brother, and two full sisters, and how is the inheritance distributed?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

If the deceased has no heirs other than the wife, daughter, mother, and siblings, then the wife inherits one-eighth, the daughter one-half, the mother one-sixth, and the remainder goes to the siblings by ta'sib (agnatic inheritance), with the male receiving the share of two females. The inheritance is divided into 96 shares: 12 shares for the wife, 48 for the daughter, 16 for the mother, and 20 shares for the siblings. It is advisable to refer inheritance cases to Sharia courts for investigation and to ensure that there are no other heirs, wills, or debts, as these take precedence over the heirs' rights.
