The answer

If the deceased left only the aforementioned heirs, then his mother gets one-sixth and his father gets one-sixth due to the existence of a lineal descendant heir. His wife gets one-eighth due to the existence of a lineal descendant heir. The remainder goes to the son and the daughter by way of ta’sib (residuary heirship), with the male receiving the share of two females. The paternal uncles and the full brother receive nothing due to the existence of the son and the father. The inheritance is divided into seventy-two shares: the mother receives twelve shares, the father receives twelve shares, the wife receives nine shares, the son receives twenty-six shares, and the daughter receives thirteen shares.
