Please, divide the inheritance among the following heirs: a son and a daughter.
The inheritance is divided between the son and the daughter, with the male receiving the equivalent of the share of two females, meaning it is divided into three portions: two portions for the son and one portion for the daughter. This is based on the Almighty's saying: "Allah instructs you concerning your children: for the male is the equivalent of the share of two females." The questioner is advised that matters of inheritance are critical and complex, and a mere is insufficient. Rather, they must be brought before the courts for investigation, as there might be other heirs, wills, debts, or rights that take precedence over the heirs' rights.
