Question:-
A woman has 3 daughters and 2 sisters. How will her estate be dissolved on her demise?
Answer:-
If she has no other relatives (such as brothers, brother’s sons, paternal uncles and cousins – paternal uncle’s sons), then her three daughters will receive two thirds of her estate and the remaining one third will be divided equally between the two sisters.
قال رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ ( وَالْبِنْتُ وَبِنْتُ الِابْنِ ) يَعْنِي يَعْصِبُ الْأَخَوَاتِ الْبِنْتُ وَبِنْتُ الِابْنِ لِقَوْلِهِ عليه الصَّلَاةُ وَالسَّلَامُ اجْعَلُوا الْأَخَوَاتِ مع الْبَنَاتِ عَصَبَةً (البحر الرائق – كتاب الفرائض)
ALLAH TA’ALA KNOWS BEST!
