If a mother passes away, leaving behind three sons and one daughter, and her parents had passed away before her, then her estate is to be distributed among her sons and daughter by way of ta'sib (residuary inheritance), with the male receiving the share of two females, in accordance with the Almighty's saying: "Allah instructs you concerning your children: for the male, what is equal to the share of two females." Her brothers and sisters do not inherit anything due to the presence of male children, as they are excluded by deprivation. The estate is divided into seven shares; each son receives two shares, and the daughter receives one share.
