How is the inheritance to be divided among the following heirs: (2 sons, 3 full brothers, a mother, 3 daughters, 2 wives, 5 full sisters)?
If the heirs are limited to those mentioned: The two wives receive one-eighth, divided equally between them, due to the presence of a lineal descendant. The mother receives one-sixth due to the presence of a lineal descendant. The remainder goes to the daughters and the two sons by ta'sib (agnatic inheritance), with the male receiving the share of two females. The brothers and sisters do not inherit, as they are excluded by the two sons. The inheritance is divided into 336 shares: the two wives receive 42 shares (21 shares for each), the mother receives 56 shares, each son receives 68 shares, and each daughter receives 34 shares. The questioner is advised to refer inheritance matters to the courts due to potential complexities such as bequests, debts, and unknown heirs.
