Summary
This fatwa gives a worked munasakhah calculation for a grandmother's estate, where heirs died one after another in a set order. The final shares of 19 heirs are expressed over a denominator of 422400, with her son Yunus receiving 113088 parts. Such calculations require complete data, especially the names of everyone involved in receiving the estate. The inquirer is advised to refer the matter to the court for verification, and distribution is recommended within a year so that munasakhah issues do not arise.
