What is the method for distributing the inheritance of a man who passed away, leaving behind two wives, a son (who has a son and a daughter), and three children (two daughters and a son) from the second wife, in addition to his mother who is still alive?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

If a man dies and leaves behind a mother, two wives, two daughters, and two sons, the inheritance is divided as follows: the mother receives one-sixth due to the presence of children, and the two wives share one-eighth equally between them. The remainder is distributed among the children, with the male receiving the share of two females. As for the grandchildren, they have no share in the inheritance as long as their father and paternal uncles are alive.
