The answer

If the deceased leaves no heirs other than sons and daughters, then the inheritance is divided among them by 'asabah (agnatic succession), with the male receiving the equivalent of two females' shares, in accordance with the verse: "Allah instructs you concerning your children: for the male, what is equal to the share of two females." (An-Nisa: 11). Thus, the inheritance is divided into ten shares, with each son receiving two shares and each daughter receiving one share. Inheritance matters must be referred to the Sharia courts for investigation and verification, due to the possibility of other heirs, wills, debts, or other rights that take precedence over the heirs' rights.
