🌍 Children, inheritance & global · #40

Can you give an example of a faraid calculation: two wives, one son, one daughter?

Example: net estate RM240,000 (after debts and bequests), the heirs are two wives, one son and one daughter; the deceased's parents have already died. Because there are children, the wives share 1/8 = RM30,000, that is RM15,000 for each wife. The remaining RM210,000 is taken by the children as residuaries (asabah) in the ratio 2:1, so the son receives RM140,000 and the daughter RM70,000. It does not matter which wife the child was born to. If the deceased's mother or father is still alive, each receives 1/6 first and the remainder is recalculated. This example is simplified; confirm the actual case with a Faraid Certificate and the calculator.
