The question

What is the legally prescribed distribution for the estate of a man who passed away, leaving behind a wife, six daughters, and two sons (after one of his sons died during his lifetime, leaving behind children)? And what is the ruling on executing an oral will from the wife to disinherit the daughters from some of the inheritance in exchange for a meager compensation? And is this testimony considered a legitimate will?

The answer

A son who dies before his father does not inherit, nor do his children inherit if they are blocked by a direct son. A will that disinherits daughters from apartments and shops in exchange for one feddan of land is void, and they must receive their full share from the entire inheritance. The division of inheritance cannot be determined until the heirs are identified, which can be done via the designated link. If the heirs are a wife, two sons, and six daughters, the wife receives one-eighth due to the presence of a direct heir. The remainder is for the sons and daughters by way of ta'sib (agnatic inheritance), with the male receiving the share of two females. The inheritance is divided into eighty shares.
