The inheritance is divided as follows: the wife receives one-eighth, based on the Almighty's saying: "But if you have a child, then for them is one-eighth of what you leave, after any bequest you [may have] made or debt." The remainder goes to the children, with the male receiving the equivalent of the share of two females, based on the Almighty's saying: "Allah instructs you concerning your children: for the male, what is equal to the share of two females."

Accordingly, the wife's share of the farm's value is: 5000 Libyan Dinars. For each daughter: 2500 Dinars. And for each son: 5000 Dinars.

Considering the area, the wife's share is: 0.3339 hectares (3339 square meters), which is the same as the share of each son. And for each daughter: 0.16695 hectares (1669.5 square meters).
