What is the distribution of inheritance for a deceased person who left behind: 6 daughters, 1 wife, 2 maternal half-brothers, 2 full sisters, 1 paternal half-sister, and 4 sons of a paternal half-brother?
If the deceased left only the aforementioned heirs, then the wife receives one-eighth as a fixed share due to the presence of a lineal descendant. The daughters receive two-thirds as a fixed share. The remainder goes to the two full sisters by 'asabah (residuary heirship), equally divided. The maternal half-brothers receive nothing due to being blocked by the lineal descendant. The paternal half-sister and the sons of the paternal half-brother also receive nothing due to being blocked by the full sister. The inheritance is divided into 144 shares: the wife receives 18 shares, the daughters receive 96 shares (16 for each), and the two full sisters receive 30 shares (15 for each).
