Question:
Assalamualaikum,
My father died recently. He had 2 sons 3 daughters and 1 wife. What are the shares of each? Also please make dua for my father that he gets Jannatul Firdaus and that his grave becomes spacious.
Answer:
Wa Alaykum Salam,
His wife gets one-eighth of the inheritance. The rest of it is divided amongst the sons and daughters. The male gets twice the share of the female as Allah (swt) decreed. (Qur’an 4:11).
