The answer

The division of the inheritance cannot be determined until the heirs are accurately identified, which can be done via the dedicated link. If a man dies leaving behind a mother, a wife, a daughter, four full sisters, and a full paternal uncle, after the death of his father and grandfather, the inheritance is divided as follows: The mother receives one-sixth due to the presence of a female lineal descendant and a group of sisters. The wife receives one-eighth due to the presence of a female lineal descendant. The daughter receives one-half. The remainder goes to the four full sisters by way of ta'sib (residuary heirship), equally among them. The full paternal uncle receives nothing because he is excluded by the sister becoming a residuary heir with the female lineal descendant, a complete exclusion.

The inheritance is divided into 96 shares: The mother receives 16 shares, the wife receives 12 shares, the daughter receives 48 shares, and the full sisters receive 20 shares (5 shares for each).
