How is the inheritance calculated if the deceased left behind: one son, six daughters, one wife, and three full brothers?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

If the deceased leaves behind only a wife, a son, daughters, and full brothers, then the wife receives one-eighth due to the presence of a lineal descendant. The son and daughters receive the remainder by ta'sib (agnatic inheritance), with the male receiving the share of two females. The full brothers receive nothing, as they are excluded by the son. In this case, the inheritance is divided into sixty-four shares: the wife receives eight shares, the son fourteen shares, and each daughter seven shares. Issues concerning inheritances must be referred to the Sharia courts.
