How should an estate of (6,0,0) be divided among the heirs of a deceased male, who are: a father, one full brother, two daughters, one wife, and one full sister?
After settling debts and executing bequests, the inheritance is divided as follows: the wife receives one-eighth (due to the presence of a lineal descendant), the two daughters receive two-thirds, and the father receives one-sixth as a prescribed share, with the remainder by residuary right. The full brothers and sisters are completely excluded from inheritance by the father.
Accordingly, the inheritance is divided into 24 shares: 3 for the wife, 16 for the two daughters (8 for each daughter), and 5 for the father.
It is necessary to present inheritance cases to the Sharia courts to verify all heirs, bequests, debts, and other rights before distribution.
