How is the inheritance distributed among the deceased's heirs, who are: a wife, a daughter, a full sister, and two full brothers?
If the deceased's heirs are limited to a daughter, a wife, and full siblings, the inheritance is divided as follows: the daughter receives half due to being the sole daughter, and the wife receives one-eighth due to the presence of a lineal descendant heir. What remains after the daughter's and wife's shares goes to the full siblings by way of 'asaba (agnatic succession), divided among them such that the male receives the share of two females. The original denominator for the inheritance is eight, and it is corrected to forty shares. The daughter takes twenty shares, the wife takes five shares, and fifteen shares remain for the full siblings, with the male receiving six shares and the female three shares.
