The answer

The division of the estates is as follows:

1. The First Estate (Al-Minbariyyah): The wife receives one-eighth due to the presence of a lineal descendant, the two daughters receive two-thirds, and each of the parents receives one-sixth due to the presence of a child. This estate experiences an increase (awl) from twenty-four to twenty-seven. 2. The Second Estate: The wife receives one-eighth due to the presence of a lineal descendant, the two granddaughters (daughters of the son) receive two-thirds, and the remainder goes to the full brother. 3. The Third Estate: The two granddaughters (daughters of the son) receive two-thirds, the mother receives one-sixth due to the presence of a lineal descendant, and the remainder goes to the paternal uncle.

It is advisable to refer matters of inheritance to the courts for investigation, as there may be other heirs, bequests, debts, or rights that take precedence over the rights of the heirs. This ensures the interests of both the living and the deceased are met.
