The answer

The aforementioned bequest is unjust and will not be executed without the consent of the heirs, because it is a bequest to an heir. Any heir who does not consent has the right to take their full legal share. The inheritance is to be divided as follows: the wife receives one-eighth due to the existence of a lineal descendant, and the remainder goes to the sons and daughters by ta'sib (agnatic inheritance), with the male receiving the share of two females. Thus, the inheritance is divided into eight shares: one share for the wife, two shares for each son, and one share for each daughter.
