The deceased's estate, amounting to one hundred thousand, is divided as follows: the two wives receive one-eighth, based on the Almighty’s saying: (But if you have a child, then for them is one-eighth of what you leave); and the remaining is for the children, with the male receiving the share of two females, based on the Almighty’s saying: (For the male is the share of two females). Thus, each wife's share is 6250, each son's is 17500, and each daughter's is 8750.
