Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

(Fatwa: 1290/1046/B=1433) In the question mentioned above, the inheritance of your mother-in-law shall be divided into 36 shares, out of which her husband shall get one forth i.e. 9 shares, and all the three daughters shall get two third i.e. 24 shares while remaining 3 shares shall go to the bhatija being as asaba (kinsman) and bhatiji shall get nothing. The detail of Shariah division is as follows: Details: Husband: 1x09 = 09 Daughters: 3x08 = 24 Bhatija: 1x03 = 03 Total: 36 shares
