What is the share of each heir from the inheritance of the deceased, who left behind: two sons, a daughter, a wife, and a father?
The method of dividing the inheritance cannot be determined until the heirs are precisely identified. If we assume the heirs are: a father, a wife, two sons, and a daughter, then the father receives one-sixth due to the presence of a lineal descendant heir, and the wife receives one-eighth due to the presence of a lineal descendant heir. The remainder is distributed to the sons and daughters by way of ta’sib (residuary heirship), with the male receiving the share of two females. The inheritance is divided into 120 shares: the father receives 20 shares, the wife receives 15 shares, each son receives 34 shares, and the daughter receives 17 shares.
