Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If the deceased leaves behind only a wife, two sons, and two daughters, the wife receives one-eighth due to the presence of a direct heir. The remainder is for the sons and daughters by ta’sib (agnatic inheritance), with the male receiving the share of two females. The inheritance is divided into sixty-four shares: the wife receives eight shares, each son fourteen shares, and each daughter seven shares.
