Summary
Four groups of heirs qualify for two-thirds of the estate: two or more daughters, two or more son's daughters, two or more full sisters, and two or more paternal half-sisters. Daughters receive it when no son of the deceased is present with them. Son's daughters need two conditions: no male co-heir (asabah) alongside them and the deceased has no children. Full sisters need three conditions, while paternal half-sisters need four, including the absence of full siblings of the deceased.
