How is inheritance calculated if the heirs are: 6 sons, 2 full brothers, 8 daughters, 1 wife, and 3 full sisters?
If the heirs are limited to those mentioned, the wife receives one-eighth due to the presence of a lineal descendant, as Allah Almighty says: ﴿But if you have a child, then for them is one eighth of what you leave, after any bequest you [may have] made.﴾ The remainder is divided among the sons and daughters by ta'sib (residuary inheritance), with the male receiving the share of two females. The inheritance is divided into 160 shares: 20 shares for the wife, 14 shares for each son, and 7 shares for each daughter. As for the full brothers and sisters, they do not inherit due to the presence of sons. The inheritance should not be divided without consulting the Shar'i courts.
