How is the inheritance divided for a deceased male who left behind a mother, a wife, a maternal grandmother, two sons, a daughter, three full brothers, and four full sisters, and he has a brother who is missing in captivity, and he has debts? And is the monthly salary distributed among the heirs? And to whom does the mother's share of the inheritance go if she dies after her son?

The remainder of the deceased's estate, after settling his debts and bequests, is divided as follows: the mother gets one-sixth (20 shares), the wife gets one-eighth (15 shares), and the remaining portion goes to the children by way of ta'sib (agnatic inheritance), with the male receiving the equivalent of two females' shares (34 shares for the son and 17 shares for the daughter). The grandmother and full siblings do not inherit. If the mother dies after the son, her share of his inheritance is divided among her living heirs.
