Primary text
The share of a single daughter is one-half (1/2), which is an established consensus among the scholars of Islam. The evidence for this is the statement of Allah: {And if she is one, she will have half} (Quran 4:11). Additionally, the Prophet, peace be upon him, ruled in a case involving a daughter, a son's daughter, and a sister that the daughter receives half (1/2), the son's daughter receives one-sixth (1/6), and the remainder goes to the sister.
