The answer

The deceased's debt must be settled before the estate is divided. If the deceased left behind only a wife, sons, and daughters, the wife receives one-eighth due to the existence of inheriting offspring, as Allah Almighty said: "But if you have a child, then for them is one-eighth of what you leave, after any bequest you [may have] made or debt." The remainder goes to the sons and daughters by way of ta'sib (residuary heirship), with the male receiving the share of two females, as Allah Almighty said: "Allah instructs you concerning your children: for the male, what is equal to the share of two females." The full sisters do not inherit because they are excluded by the son, an exclusion of deprivation (hajb hirman). The estate is divided into 128 shares: the wife receives 16 shares, each son receives 14 shares, and each daughter receives 7 shares.
