The answer

If a mother passes away and leaves behind a mother, a husband, four sons, and four daughters, the inheritance is distributed as follows: the mother receives one-sixth, the husband receives one-fourth, and the remainder is for the sons and daughters, with the male receiving the equivalent of two females' shares. If the inheritance is 3,000 Saudi Riyals and gold valued at 20,000 Saudi Riyals, then the mother's share would be 3,833 Riyals, the husband's share would be 5,750 Riyals, each son's share would be 2,236 Riyals, and each daughter's share would be 1,118 Riyals.
