What is the share of each heir from the inheritance of the deceased woman who has: a husband, one daughter, four full sisters, one full brother, three sons of a full brother, and two sons of a full paternal uncle?
If the heirs are limited to those mentioned, then the two paternal cousins and the full brothers' sons are excluded by the full brother, because he is the closest male relative. The husband inherits one-fourth due to the presence of a lineal descendant, and the daughter inherits one-half because she is one. The remainder is divided among the full brother and full sisters by ta'sib (agnatic inheritance), with the male receiving the share of two females. The estate is divided into 24 shares: the husband receives 6, the daughter 12, the full brother 2, and each full sister 1. The matter of inheritances must be referred to the courts for investigation and to ensure there are no other heirs, wills, or debts that take precedence over the heirs' rights.
