How is the inheritance divided among the heirs: a wife, 5 daughters, a full brother, and 2 full sisters?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If the heirs are limited to those mentioned, then the inheritance is divided as follows: The wife gets one-eighth due to the presence of a lineal descendant heir. The daughters get two-thirds due to their multiplicity and the absence of a male counterpart (mu’assib). The remaining portion goes to the full brothers by 'asabah, with the male receiving the share of two females. The matter of estates must be referred to the courts for investigation and to ensure there are no wills, debts, or rights that take precedence over the heirs' rights.
