How is the inheritance divided among a wife, three daughters, and two full brothers?
If the deceased left behind only a wife, daughters, and two full paternal nephews, then the wife receives one-eighth due to the existence of a inheriting offspring. The daughters receive two-thirds, and the remainder goes to the two full paternal nephews by 'asabah (agnatic succession). The estate is divided into 144 shares: 18 for the wife, 96 for the daughters (32 for each), and 15 for each full paternal nephew. Matters related to inheritances must be brought before Sharia courts to verify the absence of other heirs, wills, or debts.
