The deceased's wife receives one-eighth due to the existence of a inheriting offspring. The remainder goes to the children by way of ta'sib (agnatic inheritance), with the male receiving the share of two females. The amount is to be divided into 128 shares: the wife receives 16 shares, each son receives 14 shares, and each daughter receives 7 shares. It is advisable to refer the dispute to the courts to verify the existence of any wills, debts, or other heirs.
