What is the legally prescribed division for the sum of 50,0 Saudi Riyals, which is the price of land we inherited from our deceased father, knowing that my father was married to two women: the first is deceased and had four sons and two daughters, and the second is alive and has one son?

The two wives receive one-eighth due to the presence of lineal descendants. The remainder is divided among the sons and daughters, with the male receiving the share of two females. If the inheritance is 50,0 Riyals, each wife receives 3125 Riyals, each son receives 7291.66 Riyals, and each daughter receives 3645.83 Riyals. The share of the wife who died after her husband is distributed among her legal heirs. Inheritance matters must be referred to the Sharia courts to verify all heirs, wills, and debts before distribution.
