Heirs with fixed, Qur'anically-prescribed shares - such as 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/3, 1/6, or 2/3 - for example the spouse, mother, and daughters.
Residuary heirs who take whatever remains of the estate after fixed shares are paid, rather than a fixed fraction - for example sons, and the father when no descendant exists.
Blocking - the exclusion of an heir from inheriting, whether completely or partially, because a closer relative exists. For example, a living father blocks the paternal grandfather entirely.
A case where the deceased leaves no descendant and no father (or paternal grandfather) - the condition under which siblings of any kind become eligible to inherit.
Proportional reduction applied when the total of the fixed shares exceeds the whole estate - every fixed-share heir, including the spouse, is scaled down by the same ratio.
Return of the surplus - when fixed shares leave a remainder and no residuary heir exists to claim it, the surplus is returned proportionally to the fixed-share heirs, excluding the spouse.
يُوصِيكُمُ اللَّهُ فِي أَوْلَادِكُمْ لِلذَّكَرِ مِثْلُ حَظِّ الْأُنثَيَيْنِ ۚ وَإِن كَانَتْ وَاحِدَةً فَلَهَا النِّصْفُ
Allah commands you concerning your children: to the male, a share equal to that of two females. And if there is only one daughter, she gets half.
— Surah An-Nisa (4:11)
