How is the amount of 900,0 Saudi Riyals to be divided among the heirs, who are four daughters and one son from a deceased wife, and five daughters and four sons from a living wife, after the father's death?
If a man passes away leaving a wife, five sons, and nine daughters, and no other heirs, then the wife receives one-eighth, based on the Almighty's saying: "But if you have a child, then for them is one-eighth of what you leave." The remainder, after the one-eighth, is divided among his sons and daughters, with the male receiving the equivalent of 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." The amount (900,0 Saudi Riyals) is divided into (152) shares. The wife receives nineteen shares from this, each son receives fourteen shares, and each daughter receives seven shares. It is obligatory to refer inheritance matters to the courts for investigation and to ensure there are no wills, debts, or other rights taking precedence over the heirs' right.
