through the mother, or a mother and two brothers through the mother, or a grandmother and two brothers through the mother. The woman has the quarter from four, leaving three for the share of those entitled to the radd, which is three, so it is validated upon them, and the whole is validated from four. If it is broken upon a number of them, you multiply it by four, such as four wives, a mother, and a brother through the mother; it is validated from sixteen. If it does not divide, then the base of the husband’s problem upon the share of those entitled to the radd cannot be made compatible either; so multiply the share of the radd by the share of the husband, and whatever amount it reaches is to what the problem transitions. If you want the division, then one of the spouses has the share of the radd, and each of those entitled to the radd has their shares from their problem multiplied by the remainder of the husband’s share, and whatever amount it reaches is his if he is one; if they are a group, you divide it among them. If it does not divide, you multiply it, or its concordant part, by that to which the problem transitioned, and it is validated according to what has passed in the chapter of validation (tashih). This is confined to five bases: First, a husband, a grandmother, and a brother through the mother; the husband has the half, and the base of his problem is from two, he has one share, and one share remains for the problem of radd, which is two, so you multiply two by two, which becomes four. The break in this base does not occur except upon one group, which is the grandmothers; so if there is more than one grandmother, multiply their number by four, and whatever amount it reaches is what it is validated from. The second base: a wife, a grandmother, and a brother through the mother; the wife’s problem is from four, then it transitions to eight, and the break does not occur except upon the grandmothers also. The third base: a husband, a daughter, and a daughter of a son; the husband’s problem is from four, then it transitions to sixteen; and likewise a wife, a sister from both parents, and a sister from the father, or a sister from the mother, or a grandmother or grandmothers, and similar to it is a wife, a sister from the father, and a sister from the mother, or a grandmother. The fourth base: a wife, a daughter, and a daughter of a son, or a mother, or a grandmother; the wife’s problem is from eight, then it transitions to thirty-two. The fifth base: a wife, two daughters, and a mother; the wife’s problem is from eight, then it
