None of the aforementioned heirs inherit except for the deceased's wife, his five sons, and his four daughters. All others are excluded from inheritance by the son. The wife receives one-eighth due to the presence of a direct descendant. The remainder goes to the sons and daughters by ta'sib (residuary heirship), with the male receiving the share of two females. The inheritance is divided into sixteen shares: the wife receives two shares, each son receives two shares, and each daughter receives one share.
