What is the share of each heir from the mentioned inheritance?
If the deceased has no heirs other than those mentioned, the inheritance is divided as follows:
The wife receives one-eighth as a prescribed share, according to the Almighty's saying: "And for them (wives) is one fourth of what you leave if you have no child; 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 is divided among the two sons and two daughters by way of ta'sib (residuary heirship), with the male receiving the share of two females, according to the Almighty's saying: "Allah instructs you concerning your children: for the male, what is equal to the share of two females."
Thus, the inheritance is divided into forty-eight shares: the wife receives six shares, each son receives fourteen shares, and each daughter receives seven shares.
