What is the share of each heir from the inheritance if the heirs are: 18 sons, 56 grandsons (son's sons), 7 great-grandsons (son's son's sons), and two paternal half-brothers?
If the heirs are limited to the direct children of the deceased, then they inherit all the wealth as 'Asabah (agnatic heirs), and the wealth is divided equally among them. There is nothing for the grandchildren (sons of the son), or the siblings, or the great-grandchildren (sons of the son of the son); for they are excluded by complete exclusion by the direct children, due to the saying of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him: "Give the prescribed shares to those who are entitled to them, and whatever remains is for the nearest male."
Issues of inheritance must be referred to courts for investigation, as there might be another heir, or wills, or debts that take precedence over the right of the heirs.
