Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If the deceased leaves behind only a father, a wife, two sons, and two daughters, then the father receives one-sixth due to the presence of a lineal descendant (inheriting branch), and the wife receives one-eighth due to the presence of a lineal descendant. The remainder is divided among the sons and daughters by ta'sib (residuary inheritance), with the male receiving the share of two females. The estate is divided into 192 shares: 32 shares for the father, 24 shares for the wife, 34 shares for each son, and 17 shares for each daughter.
