How is the inheritance calculated if the deceased left behind eight sons, seven daughters, a mother, and a wife?
If the deceased leaves behind only a mother, a wife, sons, and daughters, then the mother receives one-sixth due to the existence of a inheriting offspring. The wife receives one-eighth due to the existence of a inheriting offspring. The remainder is for the sons and daughters by ta'sib (agnatic inheritance), with the male receiving the share of two females. In this case, the inheritance is divided into 552 shares: the mother receives 92 shares, the wife receives 69 shares, each son receives 34 shares, and each daughter receives 17 shares. It should be noted that matters of inheritance are serious and complex and cannot be resolved merely by a . Rather, they must be referred to the courts for investigation and to ensure that there are no wills, debts, or other rights that take precedence over the rights of the heirs.
