Source: FtawySummarized from the full answer at Ftawy · imported Sep 2, 2026
If the heirs are limited to brothers and sisters, the inheritance is divided among them, with the male receiving the share of two females, based on the Almighty's saying: ﴿And if there are brothers and sisters, male and female, then for the male will be the share of two females﴾ [An-Nisa:176]. The inheritance is divided into seven shares: two shares for each brother and one share for each sister. The matter of inheritances must be referred to the courts due to the possibility of other heirs, wills, or debts that take precedence over the rights of the heirs.
