How is the inheritance divided among the deceased's heirs, who are: one wife, two sons, two daughters, and two full brothers, with the deceased having debts?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If the heirs are limited to the wife, two sons, and two daughters, then the wife receives one-eighth due to the presence of a lineal descendant. The remainder goes to the children, with the male receiving the equivalent of two females' shares. As for the full brothers, they inherit nothing as they are excluded by the son. The estate is divided into 48 shares: the wife receives 6 shares, each son receives 14 shares, and each daughter receives 7 shares. It is advisable to consult courts regarding inheritance matters to ensure the realization of benefits and to confirm the absence of wills, debts, or other rights.
