What is the share of each heir from the inheritance: a wife, two sons, one daughter, one full brother, four full sisters, five brothers by the father's side, and one sister by the father's side?
Brothers and sisters inherit nothing due to the presence of a male lineal descendant (the son). If a person passes away, leaving a wife, a daughter, and two sons, the wife receives one-eighth due to the presence of a child. The remainder is divided among the two sons and the daughter by ta'sib (residuary heirship), with the male receiving the share of two females. Thus, the estate is divided into 40 shares: the wife receives her one-eighth (5 shares), the daughter receives (7 shares), and each son receives (14 shares). The enquirer is reminded that matters of inheritance are complex and must be referred to the courts for investigation.
