The answer

If the heirs are limited to sons and daughters, the inheritance is divided among them, with the male receiving the share of two females, in accordance with the verse: ﴿Allah instructs you concerning your children: for the male, what is equal to the share of two females.﴾ [An-Nisa:11]. The inheritance is divided into eight shares: two shares for each son, and one share for each daughter. The matter of inheritances must be brought before the Sharia courts to verify the absence of wills, debts, or other rights that take precedence over the heirs' rights.
