Question
The deceased left 10 sons and 3 daughters. What is the Islamic distribution? Two sons have also died leaving wives and children.
Answer
The deceased was survived by ten sons and three daughters. If at the time of his death he had no other relatives but the sons and daughters, then his estate should be divided into 23 equal shares. Each son will receive two shares and each daughter, one share. Thereafter, each deceased son's share should be divided amongst his heirs.
