Inheritance
Question
I want to know the ratio of distribution of shares to the heirs of the deceased. The details of heirs are as follows:
1-widow
4-daughters
Answer
If the deceased left behind just one wife and four daughters and no other heirs such as brothers, sisters etc. then the estate will be divided into 32 equal shares and distributed as follows:
Wife will receive 4 shares
Each daughter will receive 7 shares
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
