Any other way will land you at a different answer.<br />With inheritance, if one sixth goes to the mother then this is taken out from the total sum available, and then what IS LEFT OVER is then divided to sons, daughters etc.<br />You have missed one of the most relevant inheritance verses 4:8 in your detailed analysis, and that’s probably the reason you ended up making assumptions that are nowhere mentioned in the clearly-expounded Quran.<br />4:8 If at the time of distribution of the inheritance, relatives, orphans, and the needy are present, give them from it and treat them kindly.<br />More often than not, there are always leftovers in cases of inheritance, and the rightful inheritors or “residuary”, are none other than your relatives, the orphans in the community, the needy, the State authority that tends to indigent, etc. <br />Yusuf, TXhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17297252561713275694noreply@blogger.com
