1 min readAlso available in العربية

If the heirs are limited to those mentioned, and the daughter was born after the death of the deceased, the inheritance is divided into 80 shares: the wife receives 10 shares, each son receives 14 shares, and each daughter receives 7 shares. However, if the newborn daughter is the third daughter, then the inheritance is divided into 72 shares: the wife receives 9 shares, each son receives 14 shares, and each daughter receives 7 shares. The matter of inheritances must be submitted to the Sharia courts to verify all heirs, wills, debts, and other rights.
