If he leaves a mother and a son—that is, both parents and a son—each parent receives one-sixth, and the remainder goes to the son.
If he leaves a mother and a daughter, the mother is allotted one-sixth and the daughter one-half; whatever remains passes to the residual heirs (ʿaṣaba).
If he leaves two daughters and his mother, the two daughters jointly take two-thirds, the mother one-sixth, and the balance goes to the ʿaṣaba.

If the deceased is a woman who leaves her husband and her father, the husband receives one-half and the remainder goes to the father.
Should a son replace the father in either of the last two situations, the wife’s share becomes one-eighth, the husband’s one-fourth, and the residue goes to the son.

If he leaves three granddaughters through a son, each one a generation below the other, along with a brother of the youngest, the highest-ranking granddaughter receives one-half, the next one one-sixth, and whatever remains goes to the son’s son and his sister, the male taking twice the share of the female.
If he leaves a wife, two parents, and two daughters, the wife is given one-eighth, the two daughters two-thirds, and the parents one-sixth each.
