What is the share of the second wife from the inheritance of her deceased husband, which includes a house, 33 hectares, and some money, if he did not have children with her but had children with another deceased wife?
If a man dies and leaves behind a wife and children, the wife receives one-eighth due to the existence of a lineal descendant, as Allah states: "But if you have a child, then for them [the wives] is one eighth of what you leave." The remainder goes to the children, with the male receiving the share of two females, as Allah states: "Allah instructs you concerning your children: for the male, what is equal to the share of two females." If the children are only males, their share is divided equally among them.
