Inheritance
Question
I have one son from my late wife and no child from my second wife. My widowed mother is alive and living with my younger brother. After my death how will be my property distributed and who will be the inheritors? Please advice the shariah ruling.
Answer
The mother will receive 1/6 of the estate, the wife will receive 1/8 of the estate and the remainder will go to the son.
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.
