The answer

If the heirs are limited to those mentioned, the wife receives one-eighth due to the presence of a lineal descendant, based on the Almighty's saying: "But if you have a child, then for them is one eighth of what you leave, after any bequest you [may have] made or debt." The remainder goes to the sons and daughters by ta'sib (residuary inheritance), with the male receiving the share of two females.

The inheritance is divided into 104 shares: the wife receives 13 shares, each son receives 14 shares, and each daughter receives 7 shares. As for the other relatives, they do not inherit due to the presence of sons.

We alert the questioner that matters of inheritance are serious and complex, and it is not sufficient to rely solely on a fatwa. Rather, it must be referred to the Sharia courts for verification, as there might be other heirs, bequests, debts, or other rights that take precedence over the rights of the heirs.
