How is the residual estate apportioned between sons and daughters?

The residual estate after fixed Quranic shares is distributed among direct descendants with sons receiving double the share of daughters (2:1 ratio).

What priority deductions occur before dividing estate shares?

Funeral expenses and all verified outstanding debts take legal priority, followed by executing any valid Islamic will up to one-third before succession shares are distributed.
