What is the share of the wife, the son, and the seven daughters from the deceased's inheritance?
If the heirs are limited to those mentioned, then the inheritance is divided as follows: The wife receives one-eighth due to the existence of a inheriting offspring, as Allah Almighty says: "But if you have a child, then for them [the wives] is one eighth of what you leave." The remainder is divided among the sons and daughters, with the male receiving the share of two females, as Allah Almighty says: "Allah instructs you concerning your children: for the male, what is equal to the share of two females." It should be noted that matters of inheritance are complex and intricate and must be referred to the Sharia courts for investigation and to ensure that there are no wills, debts, or other rights taking precedence over the rights of the heirs.
