If the deceased left no heirs other than those mentioned, the mother receives one-sixth, and the two wives receive one-eighth, to be divided equally between them. The remainder goes to the sons and daughters by way of ta’sib (agnatic inheritance), with the male receiving the share of two females. The inheritance is divided into 624 shares: the mother receives 104 shares, the two wives receive 78 shares (39 shares for each), each son receives 68 shares, and each daughter receives 34 shares.
