Answered by Shaykh Sohail Hanif, SunniPath Academy Teacher
In a family of 2 parents and 3 children (2 brothers and 1 sister); when the father dies how is the inheritance divided?
Assalamu alaykum
The inheritance in this case would be:
| Inheritor | Share |
| Wife | 5/40 |
| Son 1 | 14/40 |
| Son 2 | 14/40 |
| Daughter | 7/40 |
