How is the amount of 9,845 Riyals distributed among the heirs of a man who passed away, leaving behind a wife, a mother, four sons, and five daughters?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The mother's share is one-sixth, and the wife's share is one-eighth due to the existence of lineal descendants. The remainder goes to the children by way of ta'sib (agnatic inheritance), with the male receiving the share of two females. The case must be referred to the courts due to the presence of bequests, debts, or other rights that take precedence over the heirs' rights.
