How is the inheritance divided among: a mother, a wife, one daughter, two sons, and six full sisters?
If the heirs are limited to those mentioned, then the wife receives one-eighth due to the presence of a lineal descendant, and the mother receives one-sixth due to the presence of a lineal descendant. The remainder goes to the two sons and the daughter by ta'sib (residuary heirship), with the male receiving the share of two females. The inheritance is divided into 120 shares: the wife receives 15 shares, the mother receives 20 shares, each son receives 34 shares, and the daughter receives 17 shares. The full sisters do not inherit due to the presence of the two sons. Issues of inheritance should be referred to the courts to verify all rights, wills, and debts before distribution.
