How is inheritance divided among a son and eight daughters?
If the deceased leaves behind only sons and daughters, the inheritance is divided among them by ta'sib (agnatic succession), with the male receiving the share of two females, in accordance with the Almighty's saying: "Allah instructs you concerning your children: for the male, what is equal to the share of two females." The inheritance is divided into ten shares: two shares for each son and one share for each daughter. Inheritance cases must be brought before the courts to verify the heirs, wills, and debts, as these take precedence over the rights of the heirs, and the inheritance is not to be divided without recourse to the Sharia courts.
