How is the inheritance to be distributed among: a mother, a wife, two daughters, two sons, two full sisters, a paternal half-brother, and two paternal uncles (father's brothers from the father's side)?
If the heirs are limited to those mentioned, then the wife receives one-eighth due to the presence of a lineal descendant, and the mother receives one-sixth due to the presence of a lineal descendant. The remainder goes to the two sons and two daughters by 'asabah (agnatic succession), with the male receiving the share of two females. The estate is divided into 144 shares: the wife receives 18 shares, the mother receives 24 shares, each son receives 34 shares, and each daughter receives 17 shares. The remaining relatives do not inherit due to the presence of the deceased's children. The matter of estates must be submitted to the courts to verify all rights, debts, and bequests before division.
