Inheritance of man with two wives
Mu' meneen Brothers and Sisters,
As Salaam Aleikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh.
(May Allah's Peace, Mercy and Blessings be upon all of you)
One of our brothers/sisters has asked
this question:
Assalamu alaikum brothers in Islam
My question here is if a man dies and left behind two
wives, full sister, and con sanguine brother, what are their respective s
shares.

errors in the above statement. The forum does not change anything from

Answer:
Inheritance of man
with two wives
In the name of Allah,
We praise Him, seek His help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah
guides none can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide
them aright. We bear witness that there is none worthy of worship but Allah
Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the
seal of His Messengers.
Respected brother, we need the
following clarification to properly answer the question:
- We need a confirmation that the deceased is
survived only by his two
wives, a full sister, and a con-sanguine brother. Please confirm whether the deceased is
not survived by any of his children, and the deceased mother and
father both have died before him.
- Ref: the con-sanguine brother. Please confirm whether this con-sanguine
brother is from a common mother or a common father….as the shares for each
are different.
Whatever written of
Truth and benefit is only due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever
of error is of me alone. Allah Alone
Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.
Your brother and
well wisher in Islam,
Burhan
