The answer

If the deceased leaves no heirs other than those mentioned, then his wife receives one-eighth as a prescribed share due to the presence of a lineal descendant, as Allah Almighty says: "But if you have a child, then for them is one eighth of what you leave, after any bequest you [may have] made or debt." The remainder goes to the sons and two daughters by way of ta'sib (residuary heirship), with the male receiving the share of two females, as Allah Almighty says: "Allah instructs you concerning your children: for the male, what is equal to the share of two females." The full sister receives nothing because she is completely excluded by the son. The inheritance is divided into one hundred and sixty shares: the wife receives twenty shares, each son fourteen shares, and each daughter seven shares.
