Baghdad Court for Personal Matters
Case Number: 815/S/97/1958
Date: 23 / 6 / 1959
The Judge - Mr. ⟦illegible⟧
There appeared the person named Saleh Moshi Qahtan from the Mosaic community in Baghdad, son of ⟦illegible⟧
⟦illegible⟧ and holder of Non-Deprivation Identity Card No. 299 dated 26 / 2 / 1952 issued by the Directorate
of Travel and Nationality, and presented to this court a request dated 23 / 6 / 1959 asking for the unification of the Sharia distribution of estates
which are No. 306 dated October 7, 1911, regarding the deceased ⟦Moshi⟧ Yasmin Rubin
Qahtan, and the Sharia distribution No. 357 dated October 17, 1921, regarding the deceased Yasmin
Rubin Qahtan, and the Sharia distribution No. 226 dated November 17, 1923, regarding
the deceased Rima daughter of Saleh Daniel, and the distribution No. 14 / 38 dated April 28, 1938,
regarding the deceased Noor daughter of Moshi Yasmin Qahtan, and the Sharia distribution No. 145 / 938 dated
September 6, 1938. ⟦This⟧ is the summary of the aforementioned distributions: that Moshi Yasmin Qahtan
died and his inheritance was restricted to his mother Rima daughter of Saleh Daniel, his father Yasmin Rubin Qahtan, and his wife
Masouda Rubin Dallal, and his son Saleh, and his daughters Rahma, Khatoun, Noor, and Shamsi. <del>Then</del> then Yasmin
Rubin Qahtan died and his inheritance was restricted to his wife Rima daughter of Saleh Daniel, and the children of his son Saleh, Rahma,
Khatoun, Noor, and Shamsi, children of Moshi Qahtan. Then Rima daughter of Saleh Daniel died and her inheritance was restricted
to her son's children Saleh, Rahma, Khatoun, Noor, and Shamsi. Then Noor daughter of Moshi Yasmin
Qahtan died and her inheritance was restricted to her mother Masouda Rubin Dallal, and her brother Saleh, and her sisters
Rahma, Khatoun, and Shamsi. Then Masouda Rubin Dallal died and her inheritance was restricted to her son
Saleh and her daughters Rahma, Khatoun, and Shamsi, children of Moshi Yasmin Qahtan. There are no heirs other than these
mentioned, neither from the ancestors nor the descendants, and all of these heirs are Iraqis according to the identity cards
of non-deprivation held by each of them. Therefore, the matter of their inheritance is validated from
a total of five shares. To Saleh Moshi Yasmin Qahtan go two shares, and to each of Rahma,
Khatoun, and Shamsi, daughters of Moshi Yasmin Qahtan, one share, according to the Sharia obligations.
Upon the request of one of the heirs, Saleh Moshi Yasmin Qahtan, this Unified Sharia Distribution was issued
on 23 / 6 / 1959.
