Kharijah bin Zayd bin Thabit narrates from his father, Sayyiduna Zayd bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him): When a man or a woman dies and leaves one daughter, she receives half (of the whole estate). If there are two or more daughters, they receive two thirds. If there is also a male (a son) with them, then no one among them has a fixed share; rather, the distribution begins with whoever shares with them in the inheritance with a fixed share, who is given his share, and whatever remains is divided among the children such that a male receives the equivalent of the share of two females. And if there are two or more daughters (and no son), they receive two thirds. This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), but they did not record it. Imam al-Hakim says that the statements of Sayyiduna Zayd bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) are a proof in the view of all the Companions.
