How is the estate of a deceased father to be divided, having left behind: a wife, 6 brothers, and 4 sisters, noting that one of the sisters has passed away and left a daughter? What is the share of the daughter from the estate, and how are the profits of the father's shop, which is managed by two of his brothers, to be distributed?
If a father dies leaving a wife, six sons, and four daughters, the wife receives one-eighth due to the presence of inheriting offspring. The remainder goes to the children, with the male receiving the share of two females. If a sister dies before the division of the inheritance, her share is distributed among her heirs. If she has a daughter, the daughter receives one-half, her mother receives one-sixth, and the remainder goes to her brothers by ta'sib, with the male receiving the share of two females. If she has a husband, he receives one-fourth. The property held in common by the heirs can either be sold and its price divided among them according to their legal shares, or it can be kept to generate income for them, with the profits distributed among them after allocating a wage for its manager.
