How is the sum of 6,800 Saudi Riyals to be divided among two wives, four sons, and six daughters?
If a man dies and leaves behind two wives and children, the two wives inherit one-eighth, to be divided equally between them, based on the Almighty’s saying: "But if you have a child, then for them is one eighth of what you leave." The remainder is divided among the sons and daughters, with the male receiving the share of two females, based on the Almighty’s saying: "Allah instructs you concerning your children: for the male, what is equal to the share of two females." Each wife receives half of the one-eighth (425 shares), each daughter receives 425 shares, and each son receives 850 shares. It must be noted that matters of inheritance are serious and complex, and it is not sufficient to rely solely on a . Rather, they must be referred to courts for investigation to ensure there are no other heirs, wills, debts, or rights that take precedence over the inheritance.
