1009 - Issue: He said: "And whatever contains a half and a sixth, or a half and a third, or a half and two-thirds, its origin is from six, and it undergoes 'awl (increase in denominator) to seven, eight, nine, and ten, and it does not 'awl beyond that."

As for when there is a half and a sixth: the denominator of the half is two, and this is found within the denominator of the sixth, which is six, so the origin of both is six. The same applies if there is a sixth and a third or two-thirds; their origin is from the denominator of the sixth and does not exceed it. If the half and the two-thirds or the third come together, the denominator of the half is two and the denominator of the third and two-thirds is three, and there is no agreement (wafq) between them, so multiply one of the denominators by the other to get six. Each fraction will then correspond to the number of the other's denominator. 'Awl enters this origin due to the crowding of shares in it, and it is the most frequent in terms of 'awl. 'Awl is an increase in the shares and a decrease in the portions of the heirs. Examples of this include: a husband, a mother, and a maternal half-brother; its origin is from six and it is valid from it. A husband, a mother, and two maternal half-brothers; a daughter, a mother, and an uncle, or an agnate; three sisters from different sides and a maternal half-brother, or a mother, or a grandmother; parents and two daughters, and a daughter and parents; a daughter, a daughter's daughter, and parents, or a grandfather and grandmother. 'Awl of seven: a husband and two sisters from both parents or from the father, or one of them from both parents and the other from the father or mother; or a sister from the father and a sister from the mother; its origin is from six and it 'awls to seven. A husband, a sister, and a grandmother or a maternal half-brother; six sisters from different sides and a mother. A sister from father and mother, a sister from the father, a mother, and two maternal half-brothers. 'Awl of eight: a husband, a sister, and a mother; the husband receives the half, the sister the half, and the mother the third (two shares); it 'awls to eight, and this is the Mubahala issue. If there is another sister with them from any side, or a maternal half-brother, it is also from eight. 'Awl of nine: a husband and six sisters from different sides; it 'awls to nine and is called al-Gharra'. A husband, a mother, and three sisters from different sides [likewise. 'Awl of ten: a husband, a mother, and six sisters from different sides] 'awls to ten and is called Umm al-Furukh due to its frequent 'awl, because it 'awled by two-thirds of it, so they likened the origin to the mother and the 'awl to the chicks (furukh). It is narrated that a man came to Shurayh and said: "My wife died and left no children, so how much is my share of her inheritance?" He said: "You have the half. Who did she leave behind?" He said: "She left her mother, two sisters from her father, and two sisters from her mother, and me." He said: "You have three shares out of ten." The man went out and said: "Do you not wonder at your judge? He said: 'I have the half,' but by Allah, he did not give me a half nor a third." Shurayh said to him: "Behold, you see me as an unjust judge, while I see you as a wicked man, concealing the story and broadcasting obscenity." Whenever the issue 'awls to nine or ten, the deceased must be a woman, because it necessarily involves a husband. It is not possible for the issue to 'awl to more than this, nor is it possible for more shares than this to be combined. The method of working in 'awl is to take the shares from the origin of the issue and add them together; whatever the sum of the shares reaches, that is the end. We say in the case of a husband, a mother, and six sisters from different sides: the husband gets the half (three), the mother gets the sixth (one share), the two sisters get the two-thirds (four), and the two maternal sisters get the third (two shares); it becomes ten.

1010 - Issue: He said: "And whatever contains a quarter and a sixth, or a quarter and a third, or a quarter and two-thirds, its origin is from twelve, and it 'awls to thirteen, fifteen, and seventeen, and it does not 'awl to more than that."

Its origin was only from twelve because the denominator of the quarter is four and the denominator of the third is three, and there is no agreement between them; when you multiply one of them by the other, it becomes twelve. If there is a sixth along with the quarter, there is agreement between the six and the four; when you multiply the agreement of one of them by the other, it becomes twelve. It is necessary in this origin to have one of the spouses, because a quarter is necessary here, and it is not a share for anyone else. Examples of this include: a husband, parents, and five sons; the husband gets the quarter (three), and the parents get the two sixths, and five remain, with each son getting a share. A husband, two daughters, and a sister or an agnate. A woman and two sisters from both parents, or...
