The mother of the deceased is given first one-sixth, and his wife one-eighth due to the presence of children. The remainder is divided among them, with the male receiving the share of two females. After the mother's death, her inheritance—including her share from her previously deceased son—is divided among her two sons and two daughters, if she has no other heirs. It is advised not to rely solely on verbal fatwas regarding inheritance matters; instead, these cases should be referred to Sharia courts.
