What is the share of the wife, five daughters, and one son from an inheritance amounting to 35,000,000 after the husband's death?
The wife receives one-eighth due to the existence of a direct heir. Allah the Almighty says: "But if you have a child, then for them is one-eighth of what you leave." The remainder goes to the son and daughters by way of ta'sib (residuary heirship), with the male receiving the share of two females, as Allah the Almighty says: "Allah instructs you concerning your children: for the male, what is equal to the share of two females." Therefore, the amount is divided into 8 shares: the wife receives one share, the son receives two shares, and each daughter receives one share.
If the amount is 35 million: For the wife: 4,375,000 For each daughter: 4,375,000 For the son: 8,750,000
The matter must be presented to the courts or experts consulted to ensure the accurate identification of heirs, debts, and bequests before distributing the inheritance.
