What is the share of each heir from a father, a wife, three sons, and three daughters in the estate of a deceased man, amounting to 100,0 Egyptian Pounds?
The inheritance is divided as follows if the heirs are limited to a father, a wife, and six children (three males and three females): the father gets one-sixth, the wife gets one-eighth, and the remainder goes to the children by ta'sib (agnatic inheritance), with the male receiving the share of two females. The brother and sister are excluded by the root (father) and the inheriting branch (children). The division of inheritances must be referred to the Sharia courts to ensure consideration of rights related to the estate or the deceased's liabilities, such as debts and bequests, and to ascertain the heirs and verify the conditions and impediments to inheritance.
