What is the division of inheritance based on the presence of five sons, three grandsons (sons of a son), seven daughters, three granddaughters (daughters of a son), and a wife, with the wife of the deceased's son being pregnant?

Only the wife, the five sons, and the seven daughters inherit, while the rest are excluded. The wife receives one-eighth due to the presence of a lineal descendant. The remainder goes to the sons and daughters by ta'sib (residuary heirship), with the male receiving the share of two females. The inheritance is divided into 136 shares: 17 for the wife, 14 for each son, and 7 for each daughter. It is necessary to consult the Sharia courts in matters of inheritance to ascertain the existence of any other heirs, wills, debts, or rights that take precedence over the rights of the heirs.
