What is the share of each heir from the deceased father's estate, which includes a large three-story house, six commercial shops, a car, and agricultural equipment, knowing that the heirs are 7 male siblings, 4 married daughters, and two wives of the father?
Everything left by the deceased is the right of the heirs, and no one is permitted to claim exclusive possession of any part of it. If the deceased left two wives, seven sons, and four daughters, and no other heirs, then the two wives receive one-eighth, and the remainder is divided among the sons and daughters, with the male receiving the share of two females. Whoever paid off his father's debt with his own money will be rewarded for it. If he intended it as a donation of that money, he has no right to claim reimbursement from the estate for what he paid. However, if he intended to be reimbursed from the estate, he has the right to take the amount before the estate is divided. But if he paid the debt without an intention of reimbursement or donation, he has no right to claim reimbursement from the estate.
