How is the money due to a deceased brother to be divided, given that he left behind a mother, a father, two sons, and three daughters, in addition to a widow whom he had previously divorced and who had married another man, bearing in mind that their daughter from the deceased also passed away?
The eligible heirs for inheritance are: the father, the mother, the sons, and the daughters. There is no share for brothers or a divorced wife. A daughter who dies before her father does not inherit; however, if she dies after him, she does inherit, and her share is distributed among her heirs.
Distribution of the inheritance: - For the father and the mother: each receives one-sixth due to the presence of a child. - The remaining wealth is divided among the sons and daughters: the male receives the share of two females. - If the daughter died after her father, the remaining wealth is divided into 8 shares (each male receiving two shares, and each female one share). - If she died before her father, it is divided into 7 shares. - If a part of the amount is assistance from the workplace, it is not distributed as an inheritance but according to the workplace's regulations.
