1 min readAlso available in العربية

If the deceased left behind no heirs other than a mother, a wife, and seven sons, then the mother receives one-sixth due to the presence of a lineal descendant, and the wife receives one-eighth due to the presence of a lineal descendant. The remainder goes to the seven sons by ta'sib (agnatic inheritance). The brothers and sisters receive nothing, as they are excluded by the son. The estate is divided into 168 shares: the mother receives 28 shares, the wife receives 21 shares, and each son receives 17 shares.
