How is the inheritance divided with the presence of a son, a father, two full brothers, a full brother's son, five full paternal uncles, a mother, a daughter, and a wife, in addition to the deceased having debts?
The debts of the deceased must be paid from their estate before its distribution. The mother and father each inherit one-sixth, and the wife inherits one-eighth, due to the presence of a lineal descendant. What remains goes to the son and daughter by 'asabah (agnatic inheritance), with the male receiving the share of two females. The estate is divided into 72 shares: 12 shares for the mother, 12 shares for the father, 9 shares for the wife, 26 shares for each son, and 13 shares for each daughter. Other relatives do not inherit due to the presence of the father and children. Inheritance matters should be referred to the courts for investigation.
