The answer

If the heirs are limited to the wife, sons, and daughters, the wife receives one-eighth (375,0) due to the presence of a lineal descendant heir. The remainder is divided among the sons and daughters, with the male receiving the share of two females. Thus, the daughter's share is (93,750) and the son's share is (187,500). The questioner is advised to refer inheritance matters to the Sharia courts, as there is a possibility of another heir or bequests and debts that take precedence over the rights of the heirs.
