What is the share of each heir from the mentioned inheritance, and does the eldest son's giving to his brothers, but not his sisters, affect the legal division?
If the deceased has debts, the heirs must pay them before dividing the inheritance, as debt takes precedence over the rights of the heirs. Daughters must be given their full share, and it is not permissible to deprive them of it. Whoever does so is sinful, and daughters are permitted to take the matter to the court. Only the four sons, six daughters, and the wife inherit. The sons and daughters of the son, and the brother and sister, are excluded due to the presence of a direct son. The wife receives one-eighth due to the presence of a lineal descendant. The remainder is divided among the sons and daughters, with the male receiving the share of two females. The inheritance is divided into 16 shares: the wife receives two shares, each son receives two shares, and each daughter receives one share. The inheritance should not be divided without consulting the Sharia courts to protect the interests of both the living and the deceased.
