What is the share of each heir from the inheritance, knowing that the deceased's heirs are: a mother, 2 wives, 3 daughters, a son, 3 full brothers, 3 full sisters, [and] 10 sons of full brothers?

The mother receives one-sixth due to the presence of a direct descendant and a group of siblings. The two wives receive one-eighth due to the presence of a direct descendant. The remainder goes to the son and daughters by way of ta'sib (agnatic inheritance), with the male receiving the share of two females. The remaining heirs receive nothing as they are completely excluded. The inheritance is divided into 240 shares: the mother receives 40 shares, the two wives receive 30 shares (15 shares each), the son receives 68 shares, and each daughter receives 34 shares. Matters of inheritance must be referred to the Sharia courts.
