Can the inheritance be calculated with the presence of 3 sons, 2 daughters, a wife, and a full sister?
If the deceased left behind only a wife, sons, and daughters, then the wife receives one-eighth due to the existence of inheriting offspring, based on the Almighty's saying: {But if you have a child, then for them [the wives] is one eighth of what you leave, after any bequest you [may have] made or debt.} The remainder is for the sons and daughters by way of ta’sib (residuary inheritance), with the male receiving the share of two females, based on the Almighty's saying: {Allah instructs you concerning your children: for the male, what is equal to the share of two females.}
The full sister or paternal sister does not inherit in the presence of a son, because siblings do not inherit with a son or a grandson.
The inheritance is divided into 64 shares: the wife receives 8 shares (one-eighth), each son receives 14 shares, and each daughter receives 7 shares.
