What is the share of each heir from the estate of a deceased woman survived by a husband, a father, three children (a daughter and two sons), a brother, and a sister?
If a woman dies and leaves behind a father, a husband, two sons, and a daughter, and no other heirs, then her father receives one-sixth, and her husband receives one-fourth due to the presence of a lineal descendant (inheriting offspring). The remainder is divided among her two sons and her daughter, with the male receiving the equivalent of the share of two females. The brothers and sisters do not inherit anything, as they are excluded by the father and the son. The inheritance is divided into 60 shares: 10 shares for the father, 15 shares for the husband, 14 shares for each son, and 7 shares for the daughter. Inheritance cases must be submitted to the Sharia courts due to the possible existence of bequests, debts, or other rights that take precedence over the rights of the heirs.
