What is the share of each heir from the legal inheritance based on the information provided?
If the deceased leaves behind only a mother, a wife, a son, and five daughters, then the mother receives one-sixth due to the presence of a lineal descendant (inheriting offspring), and the wife receives one-eighth due to the presence of a lineal descendant. The remainder goes to the son and daughters by way of ta’sib (agnatic inheritance), with the male receiving the share of two females. The full brother receives nothing because he is completely excluded by the son.
The estate is divided into 168 shares: the mother receives 28 shares, the wife receives 21 shares, the son receives 34 shares, and each daughter receives 17 shares.
