How is inheritance divided among the deceased's heirs, who are: two sons and six daughters?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If the heirs are limited to sons and daughters, the inheritance is divided among them, with the male receiving the share of two females, in accordance with the Almighty's saying: "Allah instructs you concerning your children: for the male, what is equal to the share of two females." The inheritance is divided into ten shares, with each son receiving two shares and each daughter receiving one share. Inheritance matters must be referred to the courts for investigation and to ensure there are no other heirs, wills, debts, or rights that take precedence over the heirs' right.
