The answer

If the deceased leaves behind only a mother, a father, a wife, and a daughter, then the mother receives one-sixth, the father receives one-sixth, the wife receives one-eighth, and the daughter receives one-half, due to the presence of a lineal descendant heir. The remainder is taken by the father by way of ta'sib (residuary inheritance).

The inheritance is divided into 24 shares: the mother receives 4 shares, the wife receives 3 shares, the daughter receives 12 shares, and the father receives 4 shares by fard (prescribed share) and 1 share by ta'sib (totaling 5 shares).

The father's share passes to his heirs, and the method of its distribution cannot be determined until they are identified.

Finally, it must be noted that matters of inheritance are critical and complex, and a mere is insufficient; rather, the case must be submitted to the courts for investigation.
