Ibn Jurayj (may Allah have mercy on him) said: I said to Ibn Tawus (may Allah have mercy on him): (A man) has left a father, a mother and a daughter; how will the inheritance be divided? He said: The daughter gets half, the mother a sixth and the father also a sixth, then another sixth goes to the father. Then he informed me from his father that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Give the wealth of the fixed shares to those entitled to it. Whatever is left, give it to the nearest male."
