What is the share of each heir from the inheritance for a deceased person who has: a mother, a wife, a daughter, and two sons?
If the deceased left behind only a mother, a wife, two sons, and a daughter, then the mother receives one-sixth due to the presence of a lineal descendant (inheriting offspring), and the wife receives one-eighth due to the presence of a lineal descendant. The remainder goes to the two sons and the daughter by way of ta'sib (residuary heirship), with the male receiving the share of two females. The inheritance is divided into 120 shares: the mother receives 20 shares, the wife receives 15 shares, each son receives 34 shares, and the daughter receives 17 shares.
