Shares
| Heir | Number | Share (group) | Share (each) | Of Rs 10,000,000, each |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Husband | 1 | 3/8 | 3/8 | Rs 3,750,000 |
| Mother | 1 | 1/4 | 1/4 | Rs 2,500,000 |
| Full sister | 1 | 3/8 | 3/8 | Rs 3,750,000 |
In whole shares (sihaam): the estate divides into 8 parts — husband 3, mother 2, full sister 3.
Why these shares
- Husband: 1/4 when the deceased left children or son’s children, otherwise 1/2.
- Mother: 1/6 with children or two or more siblings, otherwise 1/3.
- ʿAwl: fixed shares add up to 4/3 of the estate, so every fixed share is reduced proportionally.
