How is the legitimate inheritance of a two-story villa (commercial shops, garage, family residence, and an apartment specific to the son) divided among the wife, 6 daughters, and one son, to ensure justice among the heirs?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The division of the estate of a deceased man survived by a wife, one son, and six daughters is as follows: The wife receives one-eighth, and the remainder is for the children, with the male receiving the share of two females. To facilitate the division, the issue is rectified to 104 shares, so the wife takes 13 shares, each daughter 7 shares, and the son 14 shares. These proportions can be used to divide any part of the estate (such as shops, rent, or a garage) according to its value or area. As for the private residence built by the father for his son without his sisters, if it was with their consent, it is the son's right. Otherwise, it must be included in the estate and divided among the heirs, unless all of them consent to leave it to him.
