Fatwa #103383 December 2003Pakistan

Who would be liable for the inheritance when my father passed away.He has no sons and im the only duaghter.But he does have 3 brothers and 4 sisters

Answer

If your father predeceases you and he does not have both or one of his
parents and his wife, then his estate will be divided into 20 equal shares
and distributed as follows: Daughter receives 10 shares; Each brother
receives 2 shares; and each Sister receives 1 share.

If your father is survived by his parents or his wife, then the ruling will
be different.

and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
