—namely, muqāsama (equal sharing), one-third of what remains, or one-sixth(1) of the entire estate. If only that sixth(2) is left, he takes it and the brothers are excluded—except in the Akdariyyah case, which comprises a husband, a mother, a grandfather, and siblings who are not through the mother. In that situation the estate is increased by ʿawl so that the mother reaches one-half, after which the grandfather divides with her the portions assigned to them both. No ʿawl is applied here, nor is any sister given an initial fixed share alongside him, in any circumstance other than this.

When full siblings and paternal siblings occur together with him, the share allotted to the paternal siblings is first calculated against him; then the ʿaṣaba of the full siblings take what had been set aside for the paternal siblings, while the female receives—up to the limit of her fixed share—one-half(3). If anything remains(4), it passes to the paternal siblings, following the pattern of the Zaydiyyāt cases(5).

Section

The mother receives one-sixth when there is a lineal heir, or when there are two or more brothers or sisters; otherwise she is entitled to one-third. In the combinations of “husband together with both parents” or “wife together with both parents,” she takes one-third of what remains after the spouse’s share.

For a child born of zinā (illicit intercourse) and for one disowned by liʿān, the ʿaṣaba—after his own male descendants—are his mother’s agnates.

A single grandmother, or several of them together, inherits one-sixth when no nearer ancestor exists; the father’s mother and the grandfather’s mother inherit along with her, and no more remote female ancestor takes anything.
