How is the inheritance divided among a mother, a wife, a daughter, a son's daughter, a full sister, and a son's son, and how is the share of each heir determined?
If the heirs are limited to the wife, mother, daughter, son's son, son's daughter, and full sister, then:
The wife inherits one-eighth (1/8) due to the presence of a lineal descendant. The mother inherits one-sixth (1/6) due to the presence of a lineal descendant. The daughter inherits one-half (1/2). The remainder goes to the son's son and the son's daughter by ta'sib (residuary heirship), with the male receiving the share of two females. The full sister does not inherit due to the presence of the son's son.
The inheritance is divided into 72 shares: 36 for the daughter, 12 for the mother, 9 for the wife, 10 for the son's son, and 5 for the son's daughter.
The matter of inheritances should be submitted to the courts to verify the absence of any wills, debts, or other rights that take precedence over the rights of the heirs.
