What is the division of inheritance among a mother, a wife, four daughters, four full brothers, and five full sisters, given that the deceased has debts?
Before dividing the inheritance, the deceased's debt must first be paid from it. Then, if the heirs are limited to those mentioned, the mother receives one-sixth due to the presence of a lineal descendant, the wife receives one-eighth due to the presence of a lineal descendant, the daughters receive two-thirds, and the remainder is divided among the full brothers and full sisters by ta'sib (agnatic inheritance), with the male receiving the share of two females. We advise the questioner that matters of inheritance are serious and complex, and it is not sufficient to rely solely on a ; rather, they must be referred to courts for investigation and to ensure there are no other heirs, wills, or debts that take precedence over the heirs' rights.
