How is the inheritance distributed for a person who died leaving behind: two sons, a father, a full brother, a full nephew (son of a full brother), four full paternal uncles, three sons of a full paternal uncle, a daughter, a wife, a maternal grandmother, a full sister, two paternal half-sisters, and three maternal half-sisters; knowing that he owned a house and a car, and had a debt of 3000 US dollars, and that the house is valued at 30,0 dollars and the car at 3,0 dollars?
Before the distribution of the inheritance, the deceased's debt must be settled, and this is done from any part of their estate. After the debt is paid, the inheritance is divided according to Islamic law. In the case of a father, a maternal grandmother, a wife, two sons, and a daughter, the father receives one-sixth due to the presence of a direct descendant, the maternal grandmother receives one-sixth, and the wife receives one-eighth due to the presence of a direct descendant. The remainder is divided among the two sons and the daughter by ta'sib (residuary heirship), with the male receiving the share of two females. The remaining mentioned heirs do not inherit because they are excluded by the son and the father. The inheritance is divided into 120 shares: the father receives 20 shares, the grandmother receives 20 shares, the wife receives 15 shares, each son receives 26 shares, and the daughter receives 13 shares.
