How is an inheritance divided among four sons, three daughters, a husband, one grandson, and one granddaughter?
If the heirs are limited to the husband, sons, and daughters, the husband receives one-fourth due to the presence of a lineal descendant (heir). The remainder is distributed among the sons and daughters by ta'sib (agnatic inheritance), with the male receiving the share of two females. The son of a son or daughter of a son receives nothing, as they are excluded by the direct son. The inheritance is divided into 44 shares: the husband receives 11 shares, each son receives 6 shares, and each daughter receives 3 shares. Inheritance matters must be referred to the courts for investigation and to ensure there are no wills, debts, or other rights that take precedence over the rights of the heirs.
