The answer

If the deceased's heirs are limited to those mentioned, the inheritance is divided as follows, after preparing the body, settling debts, and fulfilling bequests: the daughter receives half (12 shares), the wife receives one-eighth (3 shares), each parent receives one-sixth (4 shares for each), and the remaining (one share) goes to the father by virtue of ta'sib (residuary heirship), making his total share 5 out of 24 shares. As for the car and the money the wife deposited in her husband's account, they are her property if they were not a gift from her, and she must claim them and her deferred mahr if she has not waived it.
