“I once said to Zurarah that I have heard Muhammad ibn Muslim and Bukayr narrating from abu Ja‘far (a.s.), about the husband, both parents and a daughter. The share of the husband is one-fourth, three shares out of twelve shares, the parents receive two-sixth, four shares out of twelve shares and the remaining five shares belong to the daughter because if she were a male she would not have more than five out of twelve shares. If they were two daughters, they would have five out of twelve shares because if they were two males they would not have anything other than the five remaining from twelve shares. Zurarah then said, ‘This is right. If you face deficiency, you must not place deficiency on ordained shares. Deficiency is placed on those who have extra, like children and sisters from the side of the father and mother. Husband and brothers from the side of mother do not pay the deficiency from the ordained shares that Allah has made for them.”’
