What is the share of each heir from the inheritance for a deceased person who left behind: 5 sons, a grandson (son of a son), a father, a full brother, a mother, 4 daughters, and a wife?

If the deceased leaves behind only the male heirs mentioned, then the mother receives one-sixth as a prescribed share, and the father receives one-sixth as a prescribed share. His wife receives one-eighth as a prescribed share due to the presence of a lineal descendant. The remainder goes to the sons and daughters by ta'sib (residuary heirship), with the male receiving the share of two females. The son of the son and the full brother do not inherit, as they are excluded by the direct son of the deceased. The full brother is also excluded by the father. The estate is divided into 336 shares.
