What is the share of each heir from the deceased's estate, if the heirs are: a wife, two daughters, a paternal half-brother, and a full paternal cousin?
Sons and daughters of the sister do not inherit anything because they are not among the heirs. If the deceased left no one but those mentioned, the wife receives one-eighth due to the existence of a inheriting descendant, and the two daughters receive two-thirds. The remainder goes to the paternal half-brother by way of ta’sib (agnatic inheritance). The full paternal cousin does not inherit because he is blocked by the paternal half-brother. The inheritance is divided into twenty-four shares: three for the wife, sixteen for the two daughters (eight for each), and five for the paternal half-brother. Inheritance matters should be referred to Sharia courts due to their complexity, and to ensure the rights of all heirs, bequests, and debts.
