How much is the share of each heir from my deceased brother's estate, which amounts to 160,000 Riyals, after paying his debts and providing for his children for eight months?
First: There is no difference in inheritance between a minor and an adult. The minor has his share of the inheritance, but the money is not given directly to him; rather, it is given to his guardian appointed by the court.
Second: If the heirs are a wife, a mother, and children, the wife receives one-eighth, the mother receives one-sixth, and the remainder goes to the children, with the male receiving the share of two females.
Third: The inheritance is divided into 24 parts: three for the wife, four for the mother, and 17 parts for the children, with the male receiving the share of two females.
