What is the share of each heir from the mentioned inheritance, given that the deceased has a debt?
Payment of the deceased's debts should precede the distribution of the inheritance, as debt takes precedence over the heirs' right.
If the deceased left no heirs other than those mentioned, then the mother receives one-sixth, and the father receives one-sixth due to the presence of a lineal descendant heir. The wife receives one-eighth due to the presence of a lineal descendant heir. The remainder is distributed to the three sons and the daughter by ta'sib (residuary heirship), with the male receiving the share of two females.
The deceased's brothers and their children, and his sisters, do not inherit due to the presence of the deceased's son and father.
The inheritance is divided into 168 shares: the mother receives 28 shares, the father receives 28 shares, the wife receives 21 shares, each son receives 26 shares, and the daughter receives 13 shares.
