Question:
A question regarding the law of inheritance shares states: A man died while his wife was pregnant, and she gave birth to a female child after his death. He also has a mother and three full brothers. How is his estate divided?
Answer:
His estate is divided as follows, from twenty-four shares: the wife receives one-eighth, which is three shares; the mother receives one-sixth, which is four shares; and the daughter receives one-half, which is twelve shares. This totals nineteen shares. The remaining five shares go to his full brothers as residuary heirs. The estate is divided thus, from twenty-four shares: the daughter receives one-half, which is twelve shares; the wife receives one-eighth, which is three shares; and the mother receives one-sixth, which is four shares. The total is nineteen shares, and the remaining five out of twenty-four go to the residuary heirs. This is based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):Sahih Muslim 1615a, meaning: the closest male relative. Yes.
