How is the inheritance divided among: a father, a wife, four sons, two daughters, one full brother, and four full nephews?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

If the heirs are limited to a father, a wife, four sons, and two daughters, then each has a specific legal share: the father gets one-sixth, the wife gets one-eighth, and the remainder goes to the sons and daughters by ta'sib (residuary heirship), with the male receiving the share of two females. The full brother and the sons of the full brother receive nothing, as they are excluded by the son and the father. The estate is to be divided into 240 shares. Issues related to inheritances must be submitted to Sharia courts for precise investigation before division.
