Summary
The two daughters of the deceased share two thirds of the estate equally. The deceased's sister receives the remaining one third as asabah ma`a al-ghair, because daughters are present. An heir living abroad keeps the right to inherit, and the estate administrator must hand the share to her, or to her heirs if she has died.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Keberadaan nenek saudara di luar negara tidak menafikan haknya untuk mendapatkan bahagian faraid dan menjadi tanggungjawab pengurus harta pusaka untuk menyerahkan kepadanya atau warisnya jika sudah meninggal dunia.
