What is the distribution of inheritance based on the deceased having three sons, five daughters, and two wives?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The two wives receive one-eighth as a [Qur’anic] فرض (fixed share) due to the presence of lineal descendants. The remainder is distributed among the sons and daughters by way of ta'sib (agnatic inheritance), with the male receiving the share of two females. The estate is divided into 176 shares: 22 shares for the two wives (11 for each), 28 shares for each son, and 14 shares for each daughter.
