The inheritance is divided such that the wife receives one-eighth due to the presence of a lineal descendant, and the remainder goes to the children by way of 'asaba (agnatic succession), with the male receiving the share of two females. The origin of the estate is eight [shares], and it is corrected to one hundred and four shares. The wife then receives thirteen shares, each son receives fourteen shares, and each daughter receives seven shares.
