What is the ruling on distributing the estate of a deceased person who has debts, and the wife claims debts for which there is no proof, and when should this distribution be carried out, for the heirs: a wife, four sons, and three daughters?

First, the deceased's debt must be paid from their estate, as it takes precedence over the heirs' right. Only what is proven to be owed by the deceased shall be paid, and the Sharia court will rule on any dispute regarding it. The wife inherits one-eighth due to the existence of a lineal descendant, and the remainder goes to the sons and daughters by ta'sib (agnatic inheritance), with the male receiving the share of two females. The estate is divided into eighty-eight shares: the wife receives eleven shares, each son fourteen shares, and each daughter seven shares. Estate matters must be brought before the Sharia courts for investigation, as there might be wills, debts, or other rights unknown to the heirs, and these take precedence over the heirs' rights.
