What is the share of each heir from the inheritance given the presence of: a mother, a wife, three full brothers, and a full sister?
If the heirs are limited to those mentioned, the mother receives one-sixth due to the presence of siblings, and the wife receives one-quarter due to the absence of a lineal descendant. The remainder goes to the brothers and sister by ta’sib (agnatic inheritance), with the male receiving the share of two females. The inheritance is divided into twelve shares: the mother receives two shares, the wife three shares, each brother two shares, and the sister one share. It is important to note the necessity of referring inheritance matters to the courts for investigation and to ensure there are no wills, debts, or other rights that take precedence over the rights of the heirs.
