How is inheritance divided among three sons, three daughters, and two wives?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

If the deceased left no heirs other than those mentioned, the two wives inherit one-eighth due to the presence of a lineal descendant. The remainder goes to the sons and daughters by ta'sib (agnatic inheritance), with the male receiving the share of two females. The estate is divided into 144 shares: the two wives receive 18 shares (9 for each), each son receives 28 shares, and each daughter receives 14 shares.
