How is the inheritance divided among: two sons and two daughters?
If the heirs are limited to sons and daughters, the inheritance is divided among them such that the male receives 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" (An-Nisa: 11). Thus, the inheritance is divided into six shares: two shares for the son and one share for the daughter. It is important to note the seriousness of inheritance matters and the necessity of referring them to courts for investigation and to ensure that there are no other heirs, wills, or debts that take precedence over the rights of the heirs.
