The answer

If the inheritance is a house and the heirs wish to divide it:

If the wife is the mother of the children, the entire house is divided among the male and female children, with the male receiving the share of two females. The house is divided into five shares: each daughter receives one share, and each son receives two shares.

If the wife is not their mother, her share of one-eighth goes to her heirs, and the remainder of the house is divided among the children, with the male receiving the share of two females. The house is divided into forty parts: the wife receives one-eighth (five shares), each daughter receives seven shares, and each son receives fourteen shares.
