Special Cases (Two Scenarios)
Khuntsa, missing person, or unborn child: distribute what is certain, withhold what is doubtful — the caution method of the bundles’ chapter 09.
For an intersex heir (khuntsa), a missing person (mafqud), or an unborn child: set up TWO scenarios (e.g. "counted as male" vs "as female"; "alive" vs "deceased"). Each group receives the SMALLER of its two shares; the difference is withheld until the status is clear or a settlement is reached.
Because one fact is still unknown — the khuntsa’s sex, whether the missing person is alive, or how the unborn child is born — and every heir’s share changes with that fact. So both possibilities are calculated as two scenarios. Each group receives only its smaller share for now (the right that is certain either way), and the difference is withheld. That way nobody receives more than their certain right only to hand it back once the status becomes clear.
Scenario A
Fill in the heirs under the FIRST possibility — e.g. the khuntsa counted as male, the missing person presumed alive, or the child born male.
Husband and wife cannot both be set.
Scenario B
Fill in the same household under the SECOND possibility — e.g. counted as female, presumed dead, or born female.
Husband and wife cannot both be set.
