How is inheritance calculated for two heirs: a wife, a mother, a daughter, two sons, and a father?
If the heirs are limited to those mentioned, the wife receives one-eighth due to the presence of a lineal descendant, and the mother and father each receive one-sixth also due to the presence of a lineal descendant. The remainder is for the two sons and the daughter by ta’sib, with the male receiving the share of two females. The inheritance is divided into 120 shares: the wife receives 15 shares, the mother 20 shares, the father 20 shares, each son 26 shares, and the daughter 13 shares. Cases of inheritance must be referred to the courts, as there might be another heir, or wills, or debts, or other rights that take precedence over the right of the heirs to the property.
