Primary text

According to Al-Thawri, the distribution results in seven parts. The view distributing claims from the original estate also results in seven parts. In the Manzilin calculation, the result is twelve parts, where the son receives seven and the Khuntha receives five. This aligns with the view distributing claims over the remainder after certainty.

The view distributing claims from the original estate yields a different denominator (seven parts) than the Manzilin method (twelve parts) in this specific scenario.
