What is the share of each heir from the legal inheritance based on the information mentioned?
The deceased's wife receives one-eighth due to the presence of a lineal descendant (the grandsons). The grandsons inherit the remainder by ta'sib (agnatic succession), according to the : "Give the prescribed shares to those who are entitled to them, and whatever remains is for the nearest male relative." The full brother receives nothing because he is excluded by the grandsons (exclusion of deprivation). Therefore, the inheritance is divided into sixteen shares: the wife receives two shares, and each grandson receives seven shares. The matter must be referred to the courts due to the possibility of wills or debts that take precedence over the heirs' rights.
