Mirath - The Laws of Islamic Inheritance

Is known as the Mas’alah al-Mimbariyyah, (the question of the pulpit)
which was when `Al| t was asked the same question and without
pause he answered it exactly as depicted (without the use of even pen
and paper).
as-Sarakhs| in his Mabs[{
`Abdull\h ibn Mas`[d t also gave verdicts using `Awl.
Raddul-Mu#t\r of Ibn `¬bid|n
If `Awl was not done and the proportions had to be exact, then the
allotment in the case of the previous example would be:
Wife 3/27
Daughter 8/27
Daughter 8/27
Mother 4/27
Father 4/27
12 17 51

(This will be explained in the section on Ta]#|#) And for the situation
above, the exact proportions would be:
Wife 3/17
Mother 2/17
Uterine Brother 4/17 (for each uterine brother)
Sister 8/51 (for each sister)
With each different example that we can choose there will be different
fractions that will represent the exact allotment of any given heir. It
would thus not be possible to include such (almost infinite)
