What is the share of the deceased's heirs, who are: a wife, two sons, and three daughters, with the presence of two daughters who passed away during their father's lifetime, and who have children—one of whom has a son, and the other has three sons and a daughter?

The two daughters who died before their father are not considered missing, nor do they inherit from him. Similarly, their children do not inherit from their grandfather. If a deceased person passes away, leaving behind a wife, three living daughters, and two sons, then the wife receives one-eighth due to the presence of a lineal descendant (inheriting branch). The remaining inheritance is distributed among the sons and daughters by ta'sib (residuary inheritance), with the male receiving the share of two females. The inheritance is divided into eight shares: the wife receives one share, each son receives two shares, and each daughter receives one share.
