Base of the calculation: 2
All shares are brought to the same denominator: the estate is divided into 2 equal parts (asl al-mas’ala).
-
The remainder
1 is left after the fixed shares. Heirs to the remainder (‘asaba): the son’s son.
-
Final base: 1 parts
So that each heir receives a whole number of parts, the base goes from 2 to 1 (tashih).
Heir Share Parts out of 1 Each The son’s son 1 1 1 Total 1 1
