How is the estate of the deceased distributed, and what is the share of each heir, including a mother, a wife, three daughters, two full sisters, and two full brothers, given that the deceased has debts?
The debts of the deceased must be paid first before dividing their estate. Then, their will is executed from one-third of the remainder, and the rest is distributed among the heirs. The estate is divided as follows: The mother receives one-sixth due to the presence of descendants and multiple siblings. The daughters receive two-thirds due to their plurality. The wife receives one-eighth due to the presence of descendants. Whatever remains after the shares of the legal heirs goes to the full siblings by ta'sib (residuary heirship), with the male receiving the share of two females. The original denominator of the estate is 24, and it is corrected to 144 shares. The mother takes 24 shares, the daughters 96 shares (32 shares for each), and the wife 18 shares. Six shares remain for the full siblings, with the male receiving two shares and the female one share.
