What is the share of each heir from the estate of a deceased woman who has three daughters, grandchildren from a deceased daughter (males and females), a full brother, a full sister, and sons of a deceased full brother?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The estate of a deceased woman who left behind three daughters, and a full brother and sister, is divided as follows: To the daughters: Two-thirds (6/9), with each daughter receiving 2/9. To the full brother and sister: The remainder (3/9), with the male receiving the share of two females; so the brother gets 2/9 and the sister gets 1/9.

There is nothing for the sons of the full brother because their uncle bars them from inheritance, and there is nothing for the children of the deceased daughter because they are considered "Dhawi al-Arham" (relatives by kinship) who do not inherit by a prescribed share or by agnatic succession.
