Question

At the moment I am married and both my parents are alive. I have 4 sisters. How will the estate be divided?

Answer

If at the time of your death, these are the surviving heirs, then your estate will be divided into 12 equal shares and distributed as follows:

Father will receive 7 shares

Mother will receive 2 shares

Wife will receive 3 shares

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
