How is an inheritance divided among six sons, a father, a mother, eight daughters, and three wives, when the deceased has debts?
The inheritance is divided among the heirs of the deceased after settling his debts and executing his bequests from one-third of the remaining estate. The father and mother each receive one-sixth due to the presence of lineal descendants, and the wives receive one-eighth due to the presence of lineal descendants. The remainder goes to the children by way of ta’sib (residuary heirship), with the male receiving the share of two females.
