What is the share of each heir from the inheritance based on the information mentioned?
The deceased's wife receives one-eighth (1/8) as a fixed share due to the presence of lineal descendants, as Allah Almighty says: "But if you have a child, then for them [the wives] is one eighth of what you leave, after any bequest you [may have] made or debt." The remainder is for the sons and daughters by way of ta'sib (residuary 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." It is necessary to refer inheritance matters to the courts to verify the absence of wills, debts, or other rights that take precedence over the inheritors' right.
