What is the share of each heir from the estate of a man who passed away, leaving behind a wife, a father, a mother, three full brothers, and one full sister, with his estate amounting to ten thousand Riyals?
The wealth is divided such that the wife takes one-fourth, based on the Almighty's saying: "And for them (wives) is one-fourth of what you leave if you have no child." The remainder is divided between the father and the mother: the father gets two-thirds of it, and the mother gets one-third, based on the Almighty's saying: "But if he has no child and his parents inherit him, then for his mother is one-third." There is nothing for the brothers and sister when the father is present.
