How is the inheritance divided among the father, mother, husband, two sons, and three daughters?
If the heirs of the deceased are limited to the father, mother, husband, and a number of sons and daughters, the inheritance is divided as follows: the father receives one-sixth, the mother receives one-sixth, and the husband receives one-fourth, due to the presence of a lineal descendant. What remains after the shares of the parents and the husband is divided among the sons and daughters by ta'sib (residuary heirship), with the male receiving the equivalent of the share of two females. The inheritance is corrected to eighty-four shares: the father and mother each take fourteen shares, the husband takes twenty-one shares, and the remainder (thirty-five shares) is divided among the children, with each male taking ten shares and each female taking five shares.
