How is an estate worth 30,0 divided among the heirs of a deceased male, namely: two daughters, a wife, two full brothers, and four full sisters?
The wife receives one-eighth due to the existence of a lineal descendant, as Allah Almighty says: "But if you have a child, then for them is one-eighth of what you leave." The two daughters receive two-thirds, as established from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him. The remaining portion goes to the full brothers and sisters, with the male receiving the share of two females, as Allah Almighty says: "And if they are brothers and sisters, men and women, then for the male is the share of two females."
The inheritance is divided into 192 shares: the wife receives 24 shares (3750 dinars), the two daughters receive 128 shares (10000 dinars each), each full brother receives 10 shares (1562.5 dinars), and each full sister receives 5 shares (781.25 dinars).
