What are the shares of the wife, the children (four males and one female), the deceased's mother, and the married full sisters from the deceased's inheritance?
When someone passes away leaving behind a mother, a wife, four sons, a daughter, and full sisters, the full sisters inherit nothing, as they are completely excluded by the deceased's son.
The mother receives one-sixth as her prescribed share, and the wife receives one-eighth as her prescribed share. The remaining inheritance is divided among the four sons and the daughter by way of ta'sib (residuary heirship), with the male receiving the share of two females.
The inheritance is divided into 216 shares: For the mother: 36 shares (one-sixth). For the wife: 27 shares (one-eighth). For each son: 34 shares. For the daughter: 17 shares.
It is advisable to refer inheritance matters to Islamic courts or consult with knowledgeable scholars due to their complexity and intricacy, to ensure that all rights, bequests, and debts are settled before the distribution of the inheritance.
