first view, the other legatee is not entitled to anything in either consent or rejection. According to the second, the two legatees divide the estate between them into five in the case of consent, and the third into five in the case of rejection. According to the third, they divide the estate into seven in the case of consent, and the third into seven in the case of rejection.

Section: If he bequeaths to a man the equivalent of the share of an heir, and to another a portion of what remains of the estate, there are also three views regarding it. One of them is that the owner of the half is given the equivalent of the share of the heir, if there is no other bequest. The second is that he is given the equivalent of his share from two-thirds of the estate. The third is that he is given the equivalent of his share after the owner of the portion takes his bequest. According to this view, the cycle (al-dawr) enters it, and upon it is the derivation (al-tafri'). Its example is: a man left three sons and bequeathed the equivalent of the share of one of them to one, and half of the remainder of the estate to another. According to the first view, the owner of the share receives a fourth, the other receives half the remainder, and what remains is for the sons, and it is valid out of eight. According to the second, he receives the sixth, the other receives half the remainder, and it is valid out of thirty-six. There is no derivation for these two views because they are clear. As for the third, the cycle enters it, and there are methods for solving it: one is that you take the divisor of the half, subtract a share from it, and a share remains, which is the share (al-nasib). Then you add one to the number of sons, making it four, multiply it by the divisor, making it eight, subtract a share from it, and seven remain, which is the estate. The one bequeathed the share gets one share, the other gets half the remainder, which is three, and each son gets one share. Another method is that you add half a share to the shares of the sons and multiply them by the divisor, making it seven. A third method, which is called the reversed (al-mankus), is that you take the shares of the sons, which are three, and say: This is the remainder of an estate from which half has gone; so if you want to complete it, add its equivalent to it, then add to it the equivalent of a son's share, making it seven. A fourth method is to make the estate two shares and a share, and pay out the share.
