What is the share of each heir from the inheritance based on the mentioned information?
If the heirs are limited to those mentioned, the mother receives one-sixth, and the father receives one-sixth due to the presence of lineal descendants. The wife receives one-eighth due to the presence of lineal descendants. The remainder is for the three sons by way of ta'sib (residuary heirship), to be divided equally. The siblings, their children, the paternal uncles, and their children receive nothing, as they are all excluded by the son and the father.
The inheritance is divided into seventy-two shares: the mother receives twelve shares, the father receives twelve shares, the wife receives nine shares, and each son receives thirteen shares. Cases of inheritance should be brought before the courts for verification, as there may be wills or debts that take precedence over the rights of the heirs.
