How is the blood money of a woman who died in a car accident divided, leaving behind a mother, a father, four brothers, two sisters, a husband, and five children (two males and three females, two of whom are minors)?
The blood money (Diyah) is to be divided among the heirs according to the prescribed Islamic shares. If a woman passes away, leaving behind a husband, a mother, a father, two sons, three daughters, and siblings (brothers and sisters), then her mother and father each receive one-sixth due to the presence of lineal descendants. Her husband receives one-fourth due to the presence of lineal descendants. The remainder is divided among her sons and daughters by way of ta'sib (residuary inheritance), with the male receiving the share of two females. The siblings do not inherit due to the presence of children and the father. Based on this, the blood money is divided into 84 shares: the mother receives 14 shares, the father receives 14 shares, the husband receives 21 shares, each son receives 10 shares, and each daughter receives 5 shares.
