How is the estate of a man who left behind four daughters, a wife, three full brothers, and the sons of a deceased full brother to be distributed?
If a man dies leaving behind only a wife, four daughters, and full brothers, then the wife receives one-eighth due to the presence of a lineal descendant. The four daughters receive two-thirds. The remaining portion is taken by the full brothers by 'asabah (agnatic relationship), with the male receiving the share of two females. The nephews (sons of brothers) receive nothing as they are excluded by the full brothers. The inheritance is divided into 72 shares: 9 shares for the wife, 48 shares for the daughters (12 shares for each daughter), and 15 shares for the full brothers (5 shares for each brother). Inheritance matters must be referred to courts due to their seriousness and to ensure there are no other heirs, wills, or debts.
