How is an inheritance divided among a mother, a wife, two sons, and two daughters?
If the heirs are limited to those mentioned, then the mother receives one-sixth due to the presence of a lineal descendant, and the wife receives one-eighth due to the presence of a lineal descendant. The remainder is divided among the two daughters and the two sons by ta'sib (residuary heirship), with the male receiving the share of two females. The inheritance is divided into 144 shares: the mother receives 24 shares, the wife receives 18 shares, each son receives 34 shares, and each daughter receives 17 shares.
