How is the estate of a deceased father to be divided, leaving 31 agricultural Qirats and 24 building Qirats, with his heirs being five sons, three daughters, and a wife? And do his paternal aunts have a share, knowing that one of them died before their grandfather and the other after him, and she has a son whom the father raised and gave him 4 agricultural Qirats and 6 building Qirats?

The estate of the deceased father is divided among his wife, sons, and daughters. The wife receives one-eighth, and the remainder goes to the children, with the male receiving the share of two females. The sister's son receives nothing. The issue is corrected to become out of 104 shares: the wife receives 13 shares, each daughter receives 7 shares, and each male receives 14 shares. The existing estate is to be divided using the same equation, noting that what the sister's son took is likely either a gift from the father or his aunt's share from the grandfather's estate.
