What is the ruling regarding the mother's share when there are sisters with partial freedom, according to Al-Khabarī?

Chapter on Distant Kindred (Dhawu al-Arham)

Al-Mughni

Book of Inheritance Shares (Farā'id)

Book 32 · Issue 10 · Bab 5

Open in Qurani

Primary text

Al-Khabarī stated that the mother receives one-fourth, and her being blocked (from one-sixth) is quantified by the portion of the sister's freedom, similar to how the half-status of a daughter blocks her share. The distinction is that blocking by a child is absolute, whereas blocking by siblings is quantified by two individuals, which is not met by less than two.

This view is held by Ibn Al-Labbān, while the initial opinion is attributed to Al-Sha'bī, who considered this view incorrect. There is extensive disagreement and many branching issues in this chapter.
