Question: Last will an testament
Assalamu alaikum. Thank you for a superb web site.

I follow Hanafi school of thought. I have began to write a will, and have considered the maximum of 1/3 bequeath to no heirs and costs of burial etc. but am seriously stuck on one matter - My father died, Which leaves my mum, 1 brother and 2 sisters. Please can you advise how I can distribute the shares according to shariah?

In the above mentioned case, in the event that you are unmarried and have no children and the brothers and sisters mentioned are born from the same father and mother then the assets will be distributed, after expenses, as followed:

The remaining asset will be divided into 24 parts from which the mother will be given 4 parts, the brother will be given 10 parts and the remaining 10 parts will be divided between the sisters getting 5 parts each. فقط
