How is the inheritance divided with a will to donate one-third of the money and to gift half of the house to the wife, while the heirs are: one wife, two daughters, three full sisters, two full brothers, one paternal half-brother, two sons of a full brother, three sons of a paternal half-brother, and five sons of a full paternal uncle?
The estate is to be divided as follows: The wife receives one-eighth due to the presence of a lineal descendant heir. The two daughters receive two-thirds. The remainder goes to the full brother and full sister by ta’sib (agnatic inheritance), with the male receiving the share of two females. The remaining heirs receive nothing due to being excluded by the full brother. As for the bequest of one-third to charity, it is valid and enforceable, and must be executed. Regarding the gift of half the house to the wife during his lifetime: if it was a bequest to an heir, it is not enforceable unless the other heirs consent. If it was a gift that was taken possession of during his lifetime, it is valid, provided he gifted her the house while not in his death-illness, and he vacated the house of his personal belongings.
