How is the inheritance divided among four sons, a husband, a mother, and two daughters?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

If the deceased leaves behind only her mother, her husband, her four sons, and her two daughters, then the mother receives one-sixth due to the presence of inheriting offspring, and the husband receives one-fourth due to the presence of inheriting offspring. The remainder goes to the children by way of ta’sib (residuary inheritance), with the male receiving the share of two females. The inheritance is divided into one hundred and twenty shares: the mother receives twenty shares, the husband receives thirty shares, each son receives fourteen shares, and each daughter receives seven shares.
