How is the sum of 50,0 US dollars inherited by ten sons and three daughters from the deceased divided?
The male heirs are fifteen, and the female heirs are ten. The method of distributing the inheritance cannot be clarified until the heirs are definitively identified, without any ambiguity, via the provided link. Assuming the deceased left behind only ten sons and three daughters, the amount will be distributed among them by ta'sib (residuary heirship), with the male receiving the share of two females, in accordance with the Almighty's saying: ﴿Allah instructs you concerning your children: for the male, what is equal to the share of two females.﴾ [An-Nisa:11]. The amount will be divided into twenty-three shares: each son receives two shares ($4347.82), and each daughter receives one share ($2173.91).
