How is an inheritance distributed if the heirs are: a mother, a wife, 5 daughters, 4 full brothers, and a full sister?
If the deceased leaves behind only a mother, a wife, daughters, full brothers, and full sisters, then the mother receives one-sixth due to the presence of a lineal descendant, the wife receives one-eighth due to the presence of a lineal descendant, and the daughters receive two-thirds. The remainder goes to the full brothers and full sisters by ta'sib, with the male receiving the share of two females. The inheritance is divided into 1080 shares: the mother receives 180 shares, the wife receives 135 shares, the daughters receive 720 shares (144 shares for each), each full brother receives 10 shares, and each full sister receives 5 shares.
