How is the inheritance calculated for two male heirs (two grandsons through a son) and four female heirs (two daughters, one wife, and one paternal grandmother)?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

If the deceased leaves behind only his paternal grandmother, his wife, two daughters, and two grandsons (sons of his son), then the grandmother receives one-sixth, the wife receives one-eighth due to the presence of a direct heir, the two daughters receive two-thirds, and the remainder goes to the two grandsons by way of ta'sib (agnatic inheritance). The inheritance is divided into forty-eight shares.
