How is the inheritance divided among the father, mother, wife, three sons, and one daughter?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

If the deceased left only the aforementioned heirs, the mother inherits one-sixth, and the father one-sixth due to the presence of a lineal descendant. The wife inherits one-eighth due to the presence of a lineal descendant. The remaining portion goes to the sons and daughter by way of ta’sib (residuary heirship), with the male receiving the share of two females.

The inheritance is divided into 168 shares: Mother: 28 shares (one-sixth). Father: 28 shares (one-sixth). Wife: 21 shares (one-eighth). Each son: 26 shares. Daughter: 13 shares.
