Question

I have a question pertaining to inheritance. My father has no sons, no living parents, a living wife and living three daughters. What is the distribution? In addition, does my father's one living brother or 6 living sisters inherit as well?

Answer

If your father's surviving heirs are his wife, 3 daughters, 1 brother and 6 sisters then his estate will be divided into 576 equal shares and distributed as follows:

Wife will receive 72 shares

Each daughter will receive 128 shares

Brother will receive 30 shares

Each sister will receive 15 shares

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