The answer

If a mother dies and leaves behind a father, a mother, four sons, and two daughters, and no husband, then her father and mother each receive one-sixth of the inheritance. This is based on the Almighty's saying: "And for his parents, each of them the sixth of what he left if he had a child." The remaining portion is divided among the sons and daughters, with the male receiving the share of two females, based on the Almighty's saying: "Allah instructs you concerning your children: for the male, what is equal to the share of two females." Thus, the inheritance is divided into 30 shares: the father receives 5 shares, the mother receives 5 shares, each son receives 4 shares, and each daughter receives 2 shares. It is advisable to consult Sharia courts regarding inheritance matters, as there may be other heirs, bequests, or debts unknown to the heirs, which take precedence over the heirs' rights.
