Summary
The twins are primary heirs who are certain to inherit their father's estate. The son inherits as an asabah bi al-nafsi, while the daughter inherits as an asabah bi al-ghairi together with her brother. The son receives twice the daughter's share, a ratio fixed by Allah that does not depend on whether the children are twins, firstborn or second born.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Oleh itu, bahagian lelaki kembar tersebut adalah dua kali daripada bahagian kembar perempuannya.
