Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 33292 — A woman who left her daughter

Fudayl said that Ibrahim said concerning a woman who leaves behind her daughter, her son's daughter and her mother, and has no residuary heir ('asabah): for her daughter are three of the five shares of the estate, for her son's daughter a fifth of the estate, and for her mother also a fifth; this is the judgement of Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him). And on this Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) gave the judgement that this issue is worked out from twenty-four shares: for the son's daughter a sixth, that is, four shares in all; for the mother a quarter of the remaining estate, that is, five shares in all; and for the daughter three quarters of twenty shares, that is, fifteen shares in all. And on this Sayyiduna Zayd (may Allah be pleased with him) gave the judgement that for the daughter is half of the estate, for the son's daughter a sixth of the estate, and for the mother also a sixth, and the rest of the estate is for the public treasury (Bayt al-Mal) when there is neither a patron nor a residuary heir present.
