Primary text

The common opinion places the solution from eight shares. Those who diverge solve it from thirty-two shares, and those who favor the minority solve it from forty-eight shares. Muhammad's opinion causes the offspring of the father to be excluded, and his view agrees with Abu Yusuf's that the wealth goes to the offspring of the sister from both parents.

If the offspring of the sister from both parents includes a son and a daughter, and there are a son and a daughter of a sister from the father, and two sons and two daughters of another sister from the father, the solution is from twenty shares according to Al-Manzileen, thirty according to Al-Thawri, and sixty according to Muhammad.
