The answer

If the deceased leaves behind only his wife and his sons and daughters, the wife receives one-eighth due to the presence of a lineal descendant, based on the Almighty's saying: (But if you have a child, then for them [the wives] is one eighth of what you leave). The remainder goes to the children by way of ta'sib, with the male receiving the share of two females, based on the Almighty's saying: (Allah instructs you concerning your children: for the male, what is equal to the share of two females). The inheritance is divided into 96 shares: the wife receives 12 shares, each son receives 14 shares, and each daughter receives 7 shares.
