How is the sum of one thousand euros divided as inheritance among five children, a daughter, and their mother, and what is the detailed table of proportions for that?
The wife receives one-eighth due to the presence of children, as Allah Almighty says: ﴿But if you have children, then for them [the wives] is one eighth of what you leave﴾. The remainder goes to the children by way of ta'sib (agnatic inheritance), with the male receiving the share of two females, as Allah Almighty says: ﴿Allah instructs you concerning your children: for the male, what is equal to the share of two females.﴾
Based on this, the wife receives 125 Euros, each son receives 159.9 Euros, and each daughter receives 79.54 Euros.
It must be noted that matters of inheritance are serious and complex, and it is not sufficient to rely solely on fatwas. Rather, they must be referred to Sharia courts to verify the absence of wills, debts, or other rights that take precedence over the rights of the heirs, thereby safeguarding the interests of both the living and the deceased.
