The deceased, Farid, died on 11 December 2022 in a road accident at the age of 38, having never married.
The Facts
- His father, Daud, died sometime in the 1990s.
- His mother, Lina, died around 2010. Before that she had married Zulkepli and had two children: Zaki (son) and Amirah (daughter). Zulkepli died in 2007.
- There were three full siblings including the deceased — two brothers and one sister: Ali, Intan and the deceased (Farid).
- There were two maternal half–siblings: Zaki (brother) and Amirah (sister).
The Faraid Distribution
After the heirs were investigated, the faraid distribution was as follows:
| Heir | Relationship | Share |
|---|---|---|
| Ali | Full brother | 8/18 |
| Intan | Full sister | 4/18 |
| Zaki | Maternal half-brother | 3/18 |
| Amirah | Maternal half-sister | 3/18 |
| Total | 18/18 |
An important distinction. Maternal half–siblings (Zaki and Amirah) take equal shares regardless of sex — 3/18 each. Full siblings, by contrast, inherit as asabah, where a brother takes twice a sister’s share.
I hope this helps.
