What is the share of each heir from the inheritance, given that the heirs are: one wife, three daughters, one full sister, one full paternal uncle, two paternal uncles from the father's side, and one son of a full paternal uncle?
If the heirs are limited to those mentioned, then the daughters receive two-thirds as their prescribed share due to their multiplicity, and the wife receives one-eighth as her prescribed share due to the presence of a lineal descendant. What remains after the shares of the daughters and the wife is for the full sister by virtue of ta’sib (agnatic inheritance), because sisters with daughters take the status of an agnatic heir. There is nothing for the remaining agnates of the deceased due to the presence of a closer agnatic heir.
The estate is divided into 72 shares: the wife receives 9 shares, each daughter receives 16 shares, and the full sister receives 15 shares. The estate should be divided under the supervision of the courts.
