How is the estate of the deceased divided among his father, his wife, his three sons, his brothers and sisters, and his full-nephew?
If the deceased leaves behind only a father, a wife, and three sons, the father receives one-sixth due to the presence of a lineal descendant, and the wife receives one-eighth due to the presence of a lineal descendant. The remaining portion is inherited by the three sons by way of ta'sib (agnatic succession).
The two sisters, the brother, and the nephew do not inherit due to the presence of the son and the father.
The inheritance is divided into seventy-two shares: the father receives twelve shares, the wife receives nine shares, and each son receives seventeen shares.
Inheritance cases must be submitted to the courts for investigation, as there may be wills, debts, or other rights that take precedence over the heirs' rights.
