How is inheritance distributed among three sons, a mother, five daughters, a full brother, and six full sisters?
If the deceased leaves behind only a mother, sons, daughters, brothers, and sisters, the mother receives one-sixth due to the presence of a direct descendant (inheriting branch). The remainder goes to the sons and daughters by ta'sib (agnatic inheritance), with the male receiving the share of two females. The brothers and sisters receive nothing, as they are excluded by the son, an exclusion of deprivation.
The inheritance is divided into 66 shares: the mother receives 11 shares, each son receives 10 shares, and each daughter receives 5 shares.
It must be noted that matters of inheritance are serious and complex. A mere is insufficient; rather, the matter must be brought before the courts for investigation, as there may be other heirs, bequests, debts, or rights that take precedence over the rights of the heirs.
