How is an inheritance distributed if the deceased left behind: a paternal brother, two full sisters, and two paternal sisters?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
For the two full sisters, two-thirds (8 shares), as Allah Almighty says: {But if there are two, they shall have two-thirds of what he left}. The remainder goes by ta'sib (residuary heirship) to the paternal brother and the two paternal sisters, with the male receiving the share of two females. Thus, the inheritance is divided into 12 shares: 4 shares for each full sister, 2 shares for the paternal brother, and 1 share for each paternal sister.
