al-Dinariyya al-Kubra (the greater Dinar case in inheritance)

The Greater Dinar is another named problem in inheritance: the heirs are a wife, a mother or grandmother, two daughters, twelve brothers and one sister, and the estate is six hundred dinars. ¹ The case is a just one from twenty-four: the wife takes an eighth, seventy-five dinars; each brother two dinars and the sister one, the rest divided by the rule that a male takes twice a female's share. ² Other names are al-Rakabiyya, al-Shakiyya, al-Dawudiyya and al-Amiriyya, each tied to an anecdote about a judge or jurist who divided an estate. ^{1 2}
