What is the share of each heir from the estate, knowing that the deceased's heirs are: a mother, a pregnant wife, two daughters, two full brothers, three full nephews (sons of full brothers), four full sisters, and one paternal half-sister?
Since the matter involves a pregnancy, it is preferable to delay the distribution of the inheritance until the condition of the fetus is clear, so that the division can be done once, to prevent the embarrassment that may result from the difference in the fetus's share depending on its type.
If the heirs insist on the distribution, the mother and wife are given their full shares, and the remaining heirs are given the minimum due to them in all estimations. The most favorable share for the fetus, which is the inheritance of two males or two females, is reserved. The inheritance is divided into 2880 shares: the mother receives one-sixth (480 shares), and the wife receives one-eighth (360 shares). The two daughters receive 680 shares, and the brothers and sisters currently receive nothing. 1360 shares are reserved for the fetus.
The reserved amount is distributed based on the condition of the fetus: 1. Deceased: The two daughters receive 1240 shares, the brothers receive 60 shares, and the sisters receive 60 shares. 2. Male: The two daughters receive 340 shares, the fetus receives 1020 shares, and the brothers and sisters receive nothing. 3. Female: The two daughters receive 600 shares, the fetus receives 640 shares, the brothers receive 60 shares, and the sisters receive 60 shares. 4. Male and Female: The two daughters receive 136 shares, and the fetus (the male 816 shares and the female 408 shares), and the brothers and sisters receive nothing. 5. Two Females: The two daughters receive 280 shares, and the fetus (960 shares, 480 shares for each female), the brothers receive 60 shares, and the sisters receive 60 shares.
The paternal half-sister and the full brother's sons receive nothing in all cases.
