Chapter: Giving precedence to those with fixed shares and giving the remainder to agnates
Al-Fath ar-Rabbani 6355 — Giving precedence to those with fixed shares
عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّهُ سُئِلَ عَنْ زَوْجٍ وَأُخْتٍ لِأُمٍّ وَأَبٍ فَأَعْطَى الزَّوْجَ النِّصْفَ وَالْأُخْتَ النِّصْفَ فَكُلِّمَ فِي ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ سَيِّدُنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَضَى بِذَلِكَ
Sayyiduna Zaid bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) was asked about the inheritance of a deceased woman’s husband and her full sister. So he gave half to the husband and half to the sister. And when he was spoken to about this, he said: Our leader, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), made this very decision.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … This narration is indeed weak, but the ruling is exactly as stated: when, in a particular case, both the husband and the full (consanguine) sister are present, then the husband will receive half and the sister will also receive half.
