Narrated Al-Aswad bin Yazid: Mu`adh bin Jabal came to us in Yemen as a tutor and a ruler, and we (the people of Yemen) asked him about (the distribution of the property of ) a man who had died leaving a daughter and a sister.

Read More..Narrated Huzail bin Shirahbil: Abu Musa was asked regarding (the inheritance of) a daughter, a son's daughter, and a sister. He said, The daughter will take one-half and the sister will take one-half. If you go to Ibn Mas`ud, he will tell you the same. Ibn Mas`ud was asked and was told of Abu Musa's verdict. Ibn Mas`ud then said, If I give the same verdict, I would stray and would not be of the rightly-guided. The verdict I will give in this case, will be the same as the Prophet did, i.e. one-half is for daughter, and one-sixth for the son's daughter, i.e. both shares make two-thirds of the total property; and the rest is for the sister. Afterwards we cams to Abu Musa and informed him of Ibn Mas`ud's verdict, whereupon he said, So, do not ask me for verdicts, as long as this learned man is among you.
