How is inheritance divided between 4 sons and 5 daughters?
If the deceased has no heirs other than his children, his estate is to be divided among them, with the male receiving twice the share of the female, in accordance with the verse: "Allah instructs you concerning your children: for the male, what is equal to the share of two females." (An-Nisa 4:11). The inheritance is thus divided into three shares, with the female receiving one share and the male receiving two shares. It must be noted that inheritance matters are serious and require being brought before the courts for investigation, as there may be wills, debts, or other heirs unknown to the questioner, and these take precedence over the right of the heirs.
