The answer

The deceased's wife receives one-eighth due to the existence of a lineal descendant, as Allah Almighty says: "But if you have a child, then for them is one eighth of what you leave, after any bequest you [may have] made or debt." The remainder goes to the sons and daughters by way of ta'sib (residuary heirship), 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." Thus, the inheritance is divided into 88 shares: 11 shares for the wife, 14 shares for each son, and 7 shares for each daughter.
