How is the inheritance distributed among: a husband, a mother, a son, and six daughters?
If the heirs are limited to the mother, the husband, the son, and the daughters, and the deceased left no other heir, then the mother receives one-sixth due to the presence of a lineal descendant, and the husband receives one-fourth due to the presence of a lineal descendant. The remainder is for the son and the daughters by 'asabah (agnatic succession), with the male receiving the share of two females. The inheritance is divided into 96 shares: 16 shares for the mother, 24 shares for the husband, 14 shares for the son, and 7 shares for each daughter. Inheritance matters must be referred to the courts for investigation and to ensure there are no other heirs, bequests, or debts.
