Question: My khala passed away over a month ago and I wanted to know how her property will be distributed as she left behind: Mother, Husband, 3 daughters, 1 brother & 1 sister.
الجواب حامداً و مصلياً
In the name of Allāh, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Answer
In reference to your query, the property or its value will be distributed according to the below guidelines after discharging all funeral expenses, clearing all outstanding debts and executing one-third of the deceased’s wealth (only if she made one that is).
The total asset will be divided 39 parts from which
Husband: (1/4th) receives 9 shares
Mother: (1/6th) receives 6 shares
3 daughters: (2/3rd) receive 24 shares. (See table below)
Brothers and sisters will be deprived of their share of inheritance.
Beneficiary | Islamic Share | Total Share from 39 parts |
Husband | 1/4th | 9 |
Mother | 1/6th | 6 |
Daughter 1 | 2/3rd | 8 |
Daughter 2 | 8 | |
Daughter 3 | 8 | |
Total | 39 |
