How is the inheritance distributed among the following heirs: (a son, a father, 3 full brothers, 4 sons of a full brother, a paternal uncle of the full brother, 3 sons of a full paternal uncle, a mother, 3 daughters, a wife, and 4 full sisters)?
If the deceased leaves behind only the father, mother, wife, a son, and daughters, then the father and mother each receive one-sixth due to the presence of a lineal descendant. The wife receives one-eighth due to the presence of a lineal descendant. The remainder is for the daughters and the son by ta’sib (residuary heirship), with the male receiving the share of two females. The other mentioned heirs (paternal aunts, maternal uncles, paternal uncles, brothers' daughters, paternal uncles' sons, sisters' sons) do not inherit due to the presence of the son and the father. The inheritance is divided into 120 shares: the mother receives 20 shares, the father receives 20 shares, the wife receives 15 shares, the son receives 26 shares, and each daughter receives 13 shares.
