How is inheritance divided among 7 sons, 4 daughters, 2 wives, a full brother, and a full sister?
If the heirs are limited to two wives, sons, and daughters, then the wives receive one-eighth, divided equally between them, as Allah Almighty says: "But if you have a child, then for them [the wives] is one eighth of what you leave." The remainder goes to the sons and daughters by way of ta'seeb (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." The inheritance is divided into 144 shares: the two wives receive 18 shares (9 for each), each son receives 14 shares, and each daughter receives 7 shares. Matters related to inheritances must be brought before the Sharia courts for investigation.
