Siblings in a Kalalah case
A person passes away leaving one full brother and one full sister, with no descendants, no father, and no paternal grandfather - a kalalah case.
- Full brother2/3 - residuary, 2 shares
- Full sister1/3 - residuary, 1 share
No relatives are blocked in this case.
- No descendant and no father figure exist, so full siblings become the operative heirs.
- With no other fixed-share heir present, the full brother and sister take the entire estate as residuary, at a 2:1 ratio.
- Units: brother 2, sister 1 = 3 units. Each unit = 1/3.
- Brother: 2/3. Sister: 1/3.
Estate value used for this example: PKR 1,500,000
Full brother2/3
Full sister1/3
Full brothers are always residuary heirs in a kalalah case; full sisters join them at the standard 2:1 male-to-female ratio.
