If the deceased's heirs are limited to the wife and children, the wife receives one-eighth as a fixed share due to the existence of a inheriting offspring, and the remainder goes to the children by
ta’sib (agnatic inheritance), with the male receiving the equivalent of the share of two females. The matter must be brought before the Sharia courts to verify the absence of other heirs, debts, or wills that take precedence over the heirs' rights.
