Does a wife who passed away after the estate was inventoried, but before the inheritance was divided and transferred to ownership, have a share in her deceased husband's inheritance?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

A man passed away, leaving behind a wife, three sons, and a daughter. His wife then passed away after him. She is entitled to one-eighth of his estate due to the presence of a direct descendant. The remainder is for the sons and daughter by way of ta'sib (agnatic inheritance), with the male receiving the share of two females. The estate is divided into eight shares: one share for the wife, two shares for each son, and one share for the daughter. The wife's share then transfers to her heirs.
