4 - Female inheritors are of seven types: The deceased’s
daughter, granddaughter by a son, mother, sahîh
grandmothers, sisters of three kinds, wife, and, if the deceased
was a slave or a jâriya, the woman who manumitted him or her.
When there are more than one wives, they share one fard.
5 - If the deceased has more than one daughters, his (or
her) granddaughters by a son cannot become inheritors. But if
he (or she) does not have sons but has a grandson by a son
also, his (or her) son’s daughters become asaba together with
the grandson, and what remains from the daughters is
distributed to the son’s sons and son’s daughters, each
grandson being given twice the share of each granddaughter. If
the deceased has a son, the son’s children cannot be inheritors.

If the deceased has more than one shaqîqas, that is, sisters

become asaba, and the property remaining from the sisters of
the deceased (shaqîqas) is distributed to his (or her) brothers
and sisters from the father, the brothers being given twice the
amount (received by the sisters).
Sisters from the same father can be only asaba when the
deceased has a daughter or granddaughter by a son or when
they (these sisters) have a brother; but they cannot be inheritors
if the deceased has two sisters (shaqîqas) or a son or a
