What is the share of the father, the mother, the husband, the four daughters, and the five sons from the inheritance of the deceased wife?
If a woman dies and leaves behind her parents, her husband, four daughters, and five sons, then her mother receives one-sixth, and her father receives one-sixth, due to the presence of a lineal descendant (inheriting issue). Her husband receives one-fourth, also due to the presence of a lineal descendant. The remaining portion is distributed to the sons and daughters by ta'sib (residuary inheritance), with the male receiving the share of two females.
The estate is divided into 168 shares: The mother receives 28 shares, the father receives 28 shares, the husband receives 42 shares, each son receives 10 shares, and each daughter receives 5 shares.
