What is the share of each heir from the mentioned estate, and are the sons and daughters to whom the deceased gifted an apartment and shops excluded from inheritance?
Everything the deceased leaves behind is part of the inheritance. The wife does not have the right to exclusively possess the residential apartment; rather, the heirs have a common share in it and in the rented apartment. The right of the son and daughter from the previous wife is not forfeited by gifting to them, and the gift is valid whether it was given with a legal justification or without one, although if it was without a legal justification, some scholars consider it revocable. The two wives receive one-eighth due to the presence of a lineal descendant, and the remainder goes to the sons and daughters by ta'sib, with the male receiving the share of two females. The paternal brother receives nothing because he is excluded by the son. The estate is divided into three hundred and four shares: the two wives receive thirty-eight shares (nineteen for each), each son receives twenty-eight shares, and each daughter receives fourteen shares. It is necessary to consult the Sharia courts in matters of inheritance, as these matters are serious, complex, and require investigation and research regarding the heirs, wills, and debts.
