How is the amount of 105,0 Saudi Riyals to be distributed among a wife, five sons, and one daughter?
The deceased's wife receives one-eighth due to the presence of a lineal descendant, as Allah states: "But if you have a child, then for them [i.e., the wives] is one-eighth of what you leave, after any bequest you [may have] made or debt." The remainder goes to the daughter and the five sons by way of ta'seeb (agnatic inheritance), with the male receiving the share of two females, as Allah states: "Allah instructs you concerning your children: for the male, what is equal to the share of two females." Thus, the inheritance is divided into 88 shares: the wife receives 11 shares, the daughter receives 7 shares, and each son receives 14 shares. It is obligatory to refer inheritance matters to the courts for investigation.
