5-Endless Bliss Fifth Fascicle - Hakikat Kitabevi

the matter is based on twenty-four. For example, when there is
a wife, two daughters, a mother, and a paternal uncle, the
problem is based on twenty-four, and a wife is given [24x1/8=3]
three shares, the two daughters are given [24x2/3=16] sixteen
shares, a mother is given four shares, and the remaining one
share is given to the paternal uncle.
A second example: When there is a wife, a daughter, son’s
daughter, a mother, and a sister, three of the twenty-four shares
are given to the wife, four shares to the son’s daughter, four
shares to the mother, twelve shares to the daughter, and the
remaining one share to the sister, who is an asaba.
4 - When one share cannot be divided by the number of the
people (who are to share it), the basis of the problem is
multiplied by the number of those people, and the inheritance is
divided by this new basis.
For example, when there is a husband and five sisters, the
basis of the problem, which is six, makes awl, [that is, changes],
to seven and the five sisters get four shares. Since four shares
cannot be divided by five, the number of sisters, the basis of the
problem becomes 5x7=35. So, [4x5=20] twenty shares are
given to the five sisters, and [3x5=15] fifteen shares to the
husband.
5 - If a few shares cannot be divided between the owners of
those shares, the least common multiple of the number of the
owners of those shares is multiplied by the basis of the problem
and thus the new basis is found. The inheritance is divided by
that new basis.
For example, when there are three daughters and three
paternal uncles, the problem is based on three and the
daughters get two shares and the uncles get one; yet because
the share cannot be divided by the number of individuals the
basis of the problem becomes [3x3=9] nine; [9x2/3=6] six
shares are given to the daughters and [9x1/3=3] three shares to
the uncles.
A second example: When there are two wives, ten
daughters, six grandmothers and seven paternal uncles, the
problem is based on twenty-four, and three shares belong to
the wives, sixteen shares to the daughters, four shares to the
grandmothers, and the remaining one share belongs to the
uncles; but because the number of shares is not divisible by the
