How is the inheritance divided among a wife, four sons, and two daughters?
The inheritance is divided into eighty shares. The wife takes one-eighth (10 shares) due to the presence of a lineal descendant. The remainder is divided among the sons and daughters by virtue of 'asaba (agnatic relationship), with the male receiving the equivalent of two females' shares. Thus, each son takes 14 shares, and each daughter takes 7 shares. The matter must be referred to the Sharia courts due to the presence of bequests or debts.
