How is the inheritance divided among the mentioned heirs: (3 sons, 6 grandsons (son's sons), 2 full brothers, 9 daughters, 13 granddaughters (son's daughters), 1 wife, 2 full sisters)?

If the heirs are limited to the wife, sons, and daughters, then the wife receives one-eighth (1/8), and the remainder goes to the sons and daughters by ta'sib (agnatic succession), with the male receiving the share of two females. The inheritance is divided into 120 shares: 15 for the wife, 14 for each son, and 7 for each daughter. The remaining relatives do not inherit due to the presence of sons. The enquirer is advised to refer inheritance matters to the courts for investigation, as there might be wills, debts, or other rights that take precedence over the rights of the heirs.
