A man who died leaving his two full sisters and brothers and sisters through the father, or leaving his daughter, his son's daughters and his son's son

Masruq narrated that Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) held that sisters and daughters are given two-thirds of the estate, and that the rest is given to the males and not to the females.

And Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) made them partners, assigning what remained after the two-thirds so that a male receives the like of the share of two females.

Hakim bin Jabir narrated that Sayyiduna Zayd bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) gave his judgement concerning this view: "This is one of the judgements of the people of Jahiliyyah, that men inherit and women do not."

Ibrahim narrated that Masruq held the view of Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) concerning full sisters and paternal half-brothers and half-sisters, holding that what remained beyond the two-thirds was to be divided among the males and not among the females.

Then he set out once on a journey to Madinah. The narrator said: When he came back, he held the view that men and women should be made partners. The narrator said: Alqamah said to him: "What turned you away from the view of Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him)? Did you meet anyone who, in your estimation, is more reliable than him?" The narrator said: He said: "No, but I met Sayyiduna Zayd bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) and found him to be among those firmly grounded in knowledge."

Ibrahim said: Masruq came from Madinah, and Alqamah said to him: "Was Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) not a reliable man?" Masruq said: "Not at all! But I saw Sayyiduna Zayd bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) and the people of Madinah making men and women partners in the estate."

Ibrahim said: Two full sisters receive two-thirds, and the paternal half-brothers and half-sisters receive the remaining wealth, in such a way that a male receives the equivalent of the share of two females. This is the view of Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) and Sayyiduna Zayd bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him). According to the statement of Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him), the deceased's two full sisters receive two-thirds, and the remainder goes only to the males among the deceased's brothers and sisters, not to the females.

Abu Bakr (Ibn Abi Shaybah) said: This case, according to both views, is worked out from 3 shares: the sisters and daughters receive two-thirds, and the one-third that remains is divided between the brothers and sisters, or between the deceased's son's daughters and son, in such a way that a male receives the equivalent of the share of two females.
