The Method of Dividing Inheritance Between Sons and Daughters

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks, Shaykh, about dividing the inheritance among the children. He says that some people place five daughters and five sons together, so each daughter is grouped with her brother. In other words, the daughters are distributed among the sons in the division of the inheritance, so that each daughter is in her share with one of the sons. Is this practice correct?

Answer:
Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, said:
Allah instructs you concerning your children: for the male, what is equal to the share of two femalesيُوصِيكُمُ اللَّهُ فِي أَوْلَادِكُمْ لِلذَّكَرِ مِثْلُ حَظِّ الْأُنثَيَيْنِ
[An-Nisa 4:11]
So the male has twice the share of the female, and the wealth is divided on this basis, the male having the share of two females. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good.
