The answer

The daughter's share of her father's inheritance, including all property and rights he left behind, is divided as follows: The mother receives one-sixth due to the presence of siblings, based on the Almighty's saying: "But if he has brothers, then for his mother is one-sixth." What remains after the mother's share is for the siblings by way of ta'sib (residuary inheritance), according to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him: "Give the prescribed shares to those entitled to them; then whatever remains is for the nearest male heir." The original denominator of the inheritance is six, and it is corrected to thirty. The mother receives five shares, and the remaining twenty-five shares are for the asabah (residuary heirs), divided among the siblings such that the male receives the share of two females: the sister receives five shares, and each brother receives ten shares. It is advisable to refer inheritance matters to the courts for investigation and to ensure there are no other heirs, wills, or debts that take precedence over the heirs' rights.
