How is the sum of 700,000, the inheritance of the deceased father, divided among his wife, his three daughters, and his son, and what is the share of each heir?
If the deceased leaves behind only sons, daughters, and a wife, then the wife receives one-eighth due to the presence of a lineal descendant. The remainder goes to the sons and daughters by ta'sib (agnatic inheritance), with the male receiving the share of two females. In this case, the inheritance is divided into 40 shares: the wife receives 5 shares, a son receives 14 shares, and each daughter receives 7 shares. The property can be sold and its price distributed among the heirs according to their shares, or it can be appraised and its value divided according to the same proportions mentioned. It is advisable to refer inheritance matters to the court or consult scholars directly to ascertain the heirs and confirm their shares.
