How is inheritance distributed among a wife, three daughters, a brother, and a sister, and what is the difference in distributing cash and real estate?

To accurately explain how an inheritance is divided, the heirs must be identified precisely, without ambiguity. If the brother and sister are uterine siblings (children of the same mother), they do not inherit and are excluded by the direct descendants (the daughters). However, if they are full siblings or consanguine siblings (children of the same father), they do inherit.

Example: If a person dies and leaves behind a wife, three daughters, and a full or consanguine brother and sister, the inheritance is divided as follows: - The wife: One-eighth (9 shares out of 72) due to the presence of direct descendants. - The daughters: Two-thirds (48 shares out of 72), with each receiving 16 shares. - The brother and sister: The remainder by way of ta’sib (residuary heirship), with the male receiving the equivalent of two females' shares; thus, the brother receives 10 shares and the sister receives 5 shares. This division does not differ whether the wealth is in the form of cash or real estate.
