What is the share of each individual from the estate of a mother who passed away, leaving three sons and three daughters, then one of the sons died before the distribution of the estate, leaving a wife, a son, and two daughters?

To accurately determine the division of an inheritance, the heirs must be clearly identified via the dedicated link. If the deceased left behind only sons and daughters, the inheritance is divided among them by ta'sib (residuary heirship), with the male receiving the share of two females. In this case, the inheritance is divided into nine shares (two shares for a son and one share for a daughter). However, if the heirs include a wife, a son, and two daughters, the wife receives one-eighth of the shares, and the remainder is distributed among the son and two daughters by ta'sib. The aforementioned table clarifies how the inheritance is divided according to the method of munasakhat (successive inheritances).
