Can the inheritance be calculated for a deceased man who left behind a mother, a wife, a daughter, six full sisters, and a paternal uncle?
The mother receives one-sixth due to the presence of a lineal descendant, and the wife receives one-eighth due to the presence of a lineal descendant. The daughter receives one-half, and the remaining portion goes to the full sisters by ta'sib (agnatic inheritance). The full paternal uncle receives nothing because he is excluded by the full sister who inherits by ta'sib. The estate is to be divided into one hundred and forty-four shares: the mother receives twenty-four shares, the wife eighteen shares, the daughter seventy-two shares, and each full sister receives five shares. It is obligatory to refer inheritance matters to the courts for investigation and to ensure there are no wills, debts, or other rights that take precedence over the heirs' rights.
