Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, I had a sister who passed away some time ago. I have twenty-five thousand riyals belonging to her. She left behind five sons, five daughters, a mother, and a husband. How is the amount to be divided?
Answer:
The amount is divided according to the laws of inheritance. The husband gets one-fourth, and the mother gets one-sixth. The remainder goes to the sons and daughters, with the male receiving twice the share of the female. So the husband is given one-fourth, the mother is given one-sixth, and the remainder goes to the sons and daughters, with the male receiving twice the share of the female. Yes.
