The answer

If the deceased left no heirs except a wife, two sons, and six daughters, the wife receives one-eighth due to the presence of a lineal descendant, as Allah Almighty says: (…But if you have a child, then for them [the wives] is one-eighth of what you leave, after any bequest you [may have] made or debt…). The remainder goes to the children by way of ta'sib (agnatic inheritance), with the male receiving the share of two females, based on Allah Almighty’s statement: (Allah instructs you concerning your children: for the male, what is equal to the share of two females…). The estate is divided into eighty shares: the wife receives ten shares, each son fourteen shares, and each daughter seven shares.
